Hi! I'm specifically interested in Black graduation rates in HBCUs located in Georgia. Can anyone help me figure out which HBCUs in that region are great at facilitating student success through to graduation?
I can help you with that. There are several Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in Georgia, and while all aim to facilitate student success, it's great to know which ones have consistently high graduation rates, especially for Black students.
Spelman College, a private, women's college in Atlanta, Georgia, has notably high graduation rates amongst HBCUs not only in Georgia but in the entire country. Roughly 75% of its students graduate within six years, which is way above national averages.
Morehouse College, also in Atlanta, has a six-year graduation rate of around 54%. This all-male university is known for its high level of support and rigorous academic programs.
Each of these institutions brings a rich tradition of Black excellence, robust academic offerings, and a supportive communal environment. While graduation rates are one metric to gauge student success, I encourage you also to consider other factors such as the campus culture, academic offerings, student support services, and post-graduation outcomes to get a holistic view of the best fit for you!
