HBCU de vital importancia en la educación de los afroamericanos, estudiantes y administradores dicen

Administrators at Historically Black Colleges and Universities say these institutions are vital now as they were decades ago. Dr.. George T. Francés, President of Miles College, explains the impact HBCU’s have on the nation’s African American students.

“…HBCU’s only account for 4 percent of all higher education institutions, yet we graduate 25 percent of all bachelors, 40 percent of all masters, y 50 percent of all doctorates that are earned and awarded in this nation,” dijo.

Colleges and universities are putting a greater emphasis on preparing students to work in a global workforce with people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Although largely African American, HBCU’s say they are able to meet the demand.
