All of our HBCU's are great!

Campus infrastructure & administrative processes seem to be a challenge for all schools.

I’ll be attending my niece’s graduation this weekend at Prairie View A&M so proud of her 👩🏽‍🎓

Morehouse/ clark Atlanta university/ Spelman/ Morris Brown/fort valley state/ Savannah state university/ Albany state university / Paine college. Salute to all the black colleges and universities in my home state Georgia and across the nation.💪💯

Fisk was a great experience for me I did better there than I ever thought I would. I wanted to be a "Jubilee Singer" but I had way too many classes at the time. Congrats to all HBCUs!

My family's HBCUs Tougaloo Alcorn Jackson State MS Valley Alabama State We love our HBCUs

Shout out to Howard University!!! My son is a law student there . Graduating in 2025

North Carolina has FOUR Black colleges/universities on this list. It is unfortunate that Shaw University in Raleigh, N.C., one of the FIRST HBCUs to be established, did not make the cut.

Family HBCUs, Stillman College, Talladega College, Clark Atlanta, Spelman, Tuskegee, Miles College, Alabama State, Savannah State, Dillard.

My son graduates from Howard University in 5 weeks!

This list doesn't take into account schools that have high Research Carnegie Classification. Schools with Engineering, Biology, and Computer Information. The schools include the following comprehensive schools such as Howard, Morgan, Tennessee State, North Carolina A&T, Southern, FAMU, Hampton, Prairie View A&M. which are more comprehensive in the course offering. Liberal Arts schools do a great job as well. These lists should try to differentiate more by program strength.

I am a proud graduate of Morgan State University, class of 1978. However, family members are proud HBCU graduates from NCCU, NCA&T, Virginia Union, Elizabeth City State, and Virginia State. Several are members of the Divine 9.

Ok WSSU, A&T, Central, Morgan, Howard, Hampton and Claflin! Proud of my families schools!!!

Administrative Processes was a running theme for these TOP Universities. They need to get it together!

Alright HBCU's!!! 🤗😉 Now, let's work on SECURITY, CAMPUS FACILITIES, ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES & CAMPUS INFRASTRUCTURE. LET'S BE GREATER!!!😉❤📚❤❤

Never ceases to amaze me how Morehouse and Spelman are always on these lists and CAU isn’t when in reality they were taking all of their harder upper level classes on our campus because Clark is an actual university! Leaving CAU out of the AUC is disgusting but go off.

Attending an HBCU currently, I must agree that administrative and Facilities/Infrastructure are a big issue and need to be addressed.

I’m loving this. Hello my Claflin University family.

Southern Alumni! Worked at Tuskegee...U KNOW!

I know the list only listed 20 HBCUs, Let’s give all the colleges and universities a shout-out. I’m starting with Texas Southern University (TSU)!

👂 ❤ALL HBCU’s are the BEST especially FAMU ✅Rattlers 🐍

Love my Prairie View A&M University...and Alpha Phi Alpha...

Proud to have graduates in our family from: Cheney University Lincoln University in PA Deleware State U. Virginia State U. Howard U. Morgan State U. Great experience attending these achools

I'm really proud of all HBCUs that made the list! Aggie Pride!

💛🖤💛 Aye Aye Bowie🖤💛🖤 Also shout-out to Morgan and UMES. Shoutout to my state.

As a 1967 graduate of a HBCU (Howard U) I am shocked at the current tuition costs. I know times have changed but back in the day one could attend a HBCU for "pennies on the dollar" so to speak. I don't think I could afford current tuition prices. However, these days there are a lot more scholarship opportunities than "back in the day".

Okay, XAVIER UNIVERSITY 👏

What happened to our (fam) alumni, Prairie View A&M University known for Engineering & Register Nursing? I noticed no Texas HUBC was listed 😢

3 HBCU graduates.. Howard, Talledega and Tennessee State. Grateful!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Really wish we would get the common theme of inadequate “campus infrastructure” and “administrative processes/responsiveness” aspects of our schools to be uncommon. My daughter loved her experience at Norfolk State University. However, these same less than optimal elements of campus life existed there as well. We have to rectify this. We can do it. We must do it

I love HBCU's in general but these list rarely leave the east coast? I don't think any SWAC school is on the list with the exception of FAMU which is a recent addition and we have the biggest enrollment and some of the highest ranking salaries.

Salute to Morgan State University, Baltimore Maryland 👊

I'd like to see a ranking of HBCUs by dorms and facilities. A bunch of these wouldn't make the list and some that weren't mentioned, would be.

Sad, that Tennessee State is not on list :(.

Appreciate HBC, and current info. Thanks

Shaw University and Texas Southern Alumni love my HBCUs

Shout out to my alumni Tuskegee University!!! You Know!!!

Thank you for this info. I'm A proud graduate of Fisk.

S/O to my family's HBCU's... Jackson State Alabama A&M Fisk HBCU's 🎓🎓🎓 🔥🔥🔥 💯💯💯

Dang No Southern U? It’s ok My daughter still going

Spelman in the house! Class of "72! 💙💙💙

Awesome-Georgetown SC

Respectfully, don't quite understand how Spelman beats a school like Howard. Howard has medicine, law, business, dentistry, pharmacy, architecture, theology and on and on producing far more prestigious graduates and far more influential on an international scale. It's like if Mount Holyoke or Smith College beat Harvard University every year. Spelman is a fantastic institution for women but it's a small liberal arts college with limited reach.

Family HBCUs: FAMU NCA&T NCCU Fayetteville State Bennett College Howard

#21. Prairie View A&M University of TEXAS... Panther-Paradise, Forever! (smile)

What about Bethune Cookman Univ and St Augustine in Raleigh, NC? I forgot Fla Memorial. Much love to ALL HBCUs!

Congratulations to all of these black colleges but I have to make my statement because it's very important you mean to tell me there are 102 black colleges in this country that are private and public the problem is this every year that means thousands of black young men and women graduate from these colleges now we all know that discrimination is still within the United States we need to stop repairing these children to work, why not also offer an entrepreneurship where they might have to start a business

Well I love them all but I didn’t see my favorite Oakwood University in Huntsville, AL !❤❤❤❤❤🎉🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾📖❤️‍🔥🌎🔥🕊️💞💯🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

VSU - Trojans!!!! I'm proud to be apart of the HBCU's family!!!

Knowledge is Power HBCU

My Pastor and 1st Lady are not only ECSU grades but 1st lady’s dad is the Chancellor.

South Carolina State. Get yourself a new list.

Great presentation. One wonders what criteria US News and World Report used to come up with these rankings? That’s something you should have included in your description. Also it’s concerning that students at every institution commented on problems with administrative processes and campus facilities/infrastructure. Another area of concern is that in only two or three schools engineering was listed as a top three subject of study. Not one school mentioned technology, pre-law, math, or pre-med. This is unfortunate because there is a massive shortage of Black doctors and lawyers. We need more young Black people in STEM careers. Thank you.

HU..UUU..KNOW!! ✊🏽🖤

FISK UNIVERSITY saved my life coming from South Central Los Angeles. The support, education and family is EVERYTHING

Gotta say no Jackson State is kinda rough but i agree with the list. Just means Jackson State has continued work to do. I get it. Very good list though. FAMU at nunebr 3? That's pretty good. I also like NC AT

Howard's acceptance rate is 35% not 53%. Please refer to Howard's website for stats.

Tuskegee Got It ❤❤❤❤❤❤

FAMU was my college choice. Two aunts, several cousins, my assistant principal in high school, many influential teachers, and several high school friends and classmates …also graduated from FAMU. Love Rattlers! 🧡💚 🐍🐍

Uhhh, Don’t know why Prairie View A&M was not on this list! What was the criteria?

Weren’t they also established during RECONSTRUCTION?

Talladega College should be on this list

Where in the heck did this ranking come from and what was it based on? It's way off.
