HBCUs are not monoliths.

When you come here you can expect a shared cultural experience, but you will also be in an environment where you can learn and grow with people who may have had a very different experience from you.

Investing in our students

Freedmen, our first students – many of whom were formerly enslaved, may have helped build our first campus building in the early 1880s, but, but we have never stopped making improvements to our campus to make sure that our students get a top-notch experience when they come here.
