Quick question, I was doing some college search and came across McNeese State University. I'm trying to clarify, is it classified as an HBCU? I couldn't find definitive info, and I'm considering HBCUs as part of my college list.
No, McNeese State University is not classified as an HBCU (Historically Black College or University). It is a public university located in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Although it may have a diverse student population, it doesn't hold the HBCU designation.
