The United States was founded on struggle--for independence, respect and freedom. The development of black colleges after the Civil War was a response to one such struggle. Today, institutions founded before 1964 with the specific mission to provide educational opportunities for blacks in the US are known as historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
There are over 100 historically black colleges and universities in the United States, including public and private, four- and two-year institutions. Admission to these colleges is not restricted to any one group of people, although many HBCUs continually strive to implement programs focused on the needs of students who have had limited access to education. Committed strongly to the social importance of education, HBCUs offer many of the same undergraduate and graduate programs as other institutions including agriculture and bio-resources.
So if you're looking for world-class teaching and research grounded in core values such as inclusiveness, scholarship, diversity, leadership, and service, don't leave historically black colleges and universities with agriculture and bio-resources programs out of your search: they not only offer a great education, they give you a chance to experience part of our history.
