Where's Morehead State on the HBCU ranking?

Does anyone have any info on how Morehead State is ranked among HBCUs? I'm earnestly looking into it, but I'm having a hard time finding consistent info. Thanks, yall!

I'm sorry to tell you that Morehead State University isn't considered an HBCU (Historically Black College and University). The HBCU designation is given by the U.S. Department of Education to institutions established prior to 1964 with a principal mission of educating African Americans. Examples of HBCUs include Howard University, Spelman College, and Morehouse College.

Morehead State, although it welcomes and supports students of all backgrounds, was not founded with the specific mission to serve the African American community, hence, it wouldn't come up in the HBCU rankings. If you're specifically looking for HBCUs, there are over 100 schools that fall under this designation, and it's important to choose one that fits your personal and academic interest. If you still have your heart set on Morehead State, I'd advise to continue with your application process and worry less about the HBCU ranking. Just make sure the university caters to your academic and career goals as well as provide the supportive environment you need.
