Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs)
84 HBCUs with a page on this site, 43 of them public and 6 of them two-year colleges, across 21 states and territories. Net price is the average a year after grant aid; completion is the six-year graduation rate at four-year colleges and the completion rate at two-year ones.
The Department of Education's October 2026 data lists 100 currently operating institutions of this kind. The other 16 have no page here: they are for-profit four-year colleges, have fewer than 200 undergraduates, or mainly award certificates or graduate degrees.
