For almost two hundred years, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), have been providing higher education for Americans. These schools have formed the core of the college experience for Black Americans since 1837 when Cheyney University of Pennsylvania was founded as the African Institute.

HBCU alumni build successful lives in many career paths. Furthermore, HBCU graduates have contributed in every occupational area across America’s diverse workforce. These graduates work for others, are professionals or have founded successful businesses.
