2026 College Rankings

Best Colleges – Best HBCUs in Pennsylvania

About

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are schools that were originally established to serve the African American community before the Civil Rights Movement. They are still incredibly important for the African American community today as they are beacons of the ongoing fight for equality and progress. There are 107 HBCUs in the United States that continue in the spirit of their original missions, providing academic opportunities for ethnic minorities and underrepresented communities.
