Which college has the largest African-American population?

I've been searching for colleges that have a significant African-American population. I think a diverse environment would offer a rich cultural experience. Does anyone know which college has the largest African-American population?

Sure, I can certainly provide some data on this. It's important to note that the data may change each year based on the incoming class.

Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), a Historically Black University (HBCU), has one of the largest African-American populations among universities. In 2024, their African-American student population was over 7,000.

Howard University, located in Washington, D.C., is another HBCU known for having a large percentage of African-American students. As of 2024, Howard had a total enrollment of about 9,000 students with an overwhelmingly majority being African-American.

Nevertheless, if we're looking strictly by numbers, some of the universities with the highest enrollment, such as University of Phoenix and Ashford University, have a high total number of African-American students, simply because these institutions have such a large student body overall.

Keep in mind that although a university might have one of the largest African-American populations, it doesn't necessarily mean they have the highest percentage of African-American students. You might want to consider both of these factors while researching colleges.

It's fantastic that you value a diverse environment. It can certainly offer a rich cultural experience and a broader perspective of the world around you. I hope this information helps with your decision-making process!
