HBCUs as the Most Productive Undergraduate Sources of Black Doctorates in Science & Engineering

Last update: Thursday 10/9/14 @ 4:19 pm

In June 2013 I posted a note on this blog titled, "HBCUs Produce the Most Black Alums Who Receive Doctorates in Science and Engineering." My note analyzed data presented in a March 2013 NSF report, Baccalaureate Origins of U.S.-trained S&E Doctorate Recipients. The NSF data identified the number of black alums of all accredited colleges and universities who subsequently received research-oriented doctoral degrees. My analysis showed that 21 HBCUs were surprisingly more productive than most non-HBCU colleges and universities. (Note: S&E is roughly equivalent to STEM)
