This map gives the location, size and vital statistics for each of 100 accredited historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). See below for a searchable database of the schools, including data from 2005 and 2010.

UPDATE: This page has been updated on Feb. 26, 2018 to remove Concordia College from our list of accredited schools.

To explore the map: Scroll over or click on each school for more information. All data in the map is from 2015—the most recent year for which data is available. One school (University of the Virgin Islands) is only visible on the map if you scroll to the southeast.
