Community Meeting – June 9, 2021 7 HISTORY OF HBCU’S

. The first Historically Black Colleges (HBCUs) were established prior to the Civil War. – Cheyney University of Pennsylvania (1837) – Lincoln University in Pennsylvania (1854) – Wilberforce University in Ohio (1856).

. However, most Historically Black Colleges and Universities were established after the American Civil War. By 1902, 85 HBCU’s had been established.

. Currently there are 105 Historically Black Colleges and Universities located mainly in the south and on the east coast.

. HBCU’s were established because most colleges and universities denied admission to African Americans.

. Quick Fact: A few HBCUs have student populations that are not predominantly black, i.e. Bluefield State College in West Virginia reports 86% of its student body is white and about 10% identify as black.

Community Meeting – June 9, 2021 8 WHY CONSIDER AN HBCU

• Low teacher to student ratio • Most classes are taught by professors not teaching assistants • Long term income earnings are higher for students who attended HBCUs. (Huffingtonpost.com 5/27/16) • Memorable social experiences such as battle of the bands, step shows, and homecoming. • Competitive Tuition Costs • Longer Application Periods • Graduate School Opportunities and Employment Opportunities • Diversity – students from all over the US and the world
