Colleges
and
Universities
________________________________________________________________________________________________
HBCUs are a source
of accomplishment and great pride for the African American community
as well as the entire nation. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended, defines an HBCU as: "...any historically black college or
university that was established prior to 1964, whose principal
mission was, and is, the education of black Americans, and that is
accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or
association determined by the Secretary [of Education] to be a
reliable authority as to the quality of training offered or is,
according to such an agency or association, making reasonable
progress toward accreditation."
