HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) Offering Doctoral Programs

The Human Development Group put together a list of HBCUs and the doctoral degrees offered. A list of links to ALL HBCUs may be found at the Department of Education website

The majority of HBCUs are not themselves doctoral granting institutions. The HD Group staff visited every HBCU website and made phone calls to the institutions in some cases to create this list. We have made every attempt to be accurate. Please contact us if errors are found.
