Dating back to the 19th century, HBCUs serve a meaningful role in higher education. Historically, our institutions allowed black Americans to advance their education in an inclusive environment.
Today they reflect a thriving and supportive community that, along with the benefit of lower tuition rates, nurtures black students and produces strong graduates who flourish worldwide. Statistics show that HBCUs produce the highest number of black undergraduates with STEM degrees, as well as graduate students with doctoral degrees in science and engineering.
HBCU’s strong systems of support and pride result in higher graduation rates overall.
The function of education
is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character that is the goal of
true education.
FocusQuest brings not only expertise and professionalism but also genuine partnership and cultural competency that makes them particularly effective in working with HBCUs.
