HBCUs -- the Best Producers of Black Graduates in STEM

Using data from the IPEDS Data Center, this note demonstrates that the HBCU community continues to be a more effective producer of black STEM graduates at the undergraduate level than the nation's non-HBCUs taken as a whole. To be more specific, HBCUs are almost twice as productive as non-HBCUs with regards to black female graduates in STEM and more than five times as productive of black female STEM graduates as the for-profit institutions that have enrolled substantial numbers of black undergraduates in recent years

HBCU Lists & Profiles

-- Helping you select the best HBCUs for your needs -- Profiles of each HBCU include undergraduate data for average price (Column 2), Pell grant allocations (Column 3), total enrollment (Column 4), black enrollment (Column 5), percent female (Column 6), retention rates (Column 7), 6-year graduation rates for bachelors and 3-year for associates (Column 8) ... plus links (in process) to each HBCU's Website, and links to each HBCU's U.S. Net Price Calculator Center page, 2010 Carnegie classification data, comprehensive profile provided by U.S. College Navigator (with Google maps showing HBCU locations), and its online & blended degree programs. (Note that five of the 106 HBCUs are not accredited, so their data rows are mostly empty; three are special graduate level institutions, so their data rows are also empty.)

Average Graduation Rates of Public HBCUs

HBCUs are located in 20 states and 2 territories, mostly in the Southern United States. This note reports the weighted averages of the 6-year graduation rates of black students enrolled in 4-year HBCU programs by states and territories, where the weights are the black enrollments in the HBCUs in each state or territory. It finds that the average graduation rates for public HBCUs in some states and territories are substantially higher than the average graduation rates in other states and territories. These substantial differences suggest the possibility that changes in the public policies of the lagging states and territories might raise the graduation rates of the black students enrolled in the public HBCUs in those states and territories. (Note: Source of  black enrollments and graduation rates for the HBCUs = IPEDS Data Center)
