I've noticed there's a bit of confusion online about Wagner College's status. Is it an HBCU or not? Can anyone clarify this for me?
Wagner College, located in Staten Island, New York, is not a Historically Black College or University (HBCU). HBCUs are institutions established before 1964 with an intention to primarily serve the African American community. Wagner, founded in 1883, is a private liberal arts school open to all demographics and does not hold an HBCU designation. It aims to provide diverse academic opportunities for all students, regardless of their race or ethnicity.
