U.S. News recently released their list of the top 15 historical black colleges and universities. Interestingly enough, on the list you will notice that the top 4 schools have the largest endowments. Another interesting factor that comes into play with the list that was created, was the fact that peer assessment counts for 25%Â of the ranking. Check out the lists inside.
1. Spelman College
2. Howard University
3. Morehouse College
4. Hampton University
5. Fisk University/Tuskegee University/Xavier University of Louisiana
8. Claflin University
9. Dillard University
10. Florida A&M University
11. North Carolina A&T State University/North Carolina Central University
13. Johnson C. Smith University
14. Elizabeth City State University
15. Delaware State University/South Carolina State University
I’m so sad that my alma mater Clark Atlanta University did not make the list. Regardless, of this list, it’s number 1 in my eyes! What do you think of this list though? Do you agree or disagree with this list?
Spotted @HuffingtonPost
I thought Tuskegee would be on it.
@AZ1, Tuskeegee is on the list, it’s listed at number five.
The US News rankings are corrupt, flawed, and bribe-fueled and the entire country’s schools participate in this corruption, then they raise their tuition rates based on this corrupt system.
Im appalled and outraged that Tougaloo isnt on there it was number 10 about a year ago..this list is wrong
My school came in at #8 and they remind us of it daily but, don’t explain the importance (or true meaning) of the list
