List of HBCU schools

For decades, employers trying to hire more diverse college students have been traveling to and otherwise targeting those enrolled in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

According to Wikipedia, HBCUs

are institutions of higher education in the United States that were established before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with the intention of primarily serving the African-American community. Most of these institutions were founded in the years after the American Civil War and are concentrated in the Southern United States. 

During the period of segregation in the United States prior to the Civil Rights Act, the overwhelming majority of higher education institutions were predominantly white and completely disqualified or limited African-American enrollment. For a century after the end of slavery in the United States in 1865, most colleges and universities in the Southern United States prohibited all African Americans from attending, while institutions in other parts of the country regularly employed quotas to limit admissions of blacks.

There are 101 HBCUs in the United States, including both public and private institutions (of 121 institutions that existed during the 1930s). Of these remaining HBCU institutions in the United States, 27 offer doctoral programs, 52 offer master’s programs, 83 offer bachelor’s degree programs, and 38 offer associate degrees.

There are a handful of schools which do not meet Wikipedia’s definition of an HBCU but which, nevertheless, are commonly referred to as HBCUs as they primarily serve black students. At College Recruiter, we include these schools and do not differentiate between them and the schools which were established before 1964 because most of the employers who want us to deliver, for example, a targeted email just to students of HBCUs care about the demographic of the students and not when the school was established. We list the following 110 schools as HBCUs:
