10 of the Best Colleges for African American Students
As we continue to celebrate Black History Month, I want to share with you 10 great universities that have a history of helping African-American students to excel. This list was comprised by Essence magazine, as well as Money magazine, and I co-sign on it, because it's based on representation, graduation rates, affordability, and postgraduate earnings. True, some of these schools on this list have comparatively fewer black students, but they're extremely generous with financial aid and have financially successful alumni.
The top 10 are:
- Princeton University in New Jersey
- Harvard University in Massachusetts
- Duke University in North Carolina
- Cornell University in New York
- Florida A&M in Tallahassee, Florida
- Spelman College in Atlanta
- The University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia
- Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut
- North Carolina A&T in North Carolina
- The University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland
We want all African-American young people to consider higher education and encourage you to follow us on social media at Strategic Admissions Advice or Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. You can even join our free Facebook group. Check us out.
