2.  Howard University, Washington, DC.

"Howard University"

2009-2010 Tuition and Fees: $16,075

Providing a consistently high quality of education since 1867, Howard University is an institution deeply committed to preserving and improving educational opportunities available to African-Americans. Howard University offers a wide selection of academic programs at undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels, as well as ample opportunities for extracurricular involvement, resulting in a student body that is uncharacteristically diverse given the school’s size. Though Howard accumulated some negative publicity in recent years due to high-profile divisions within the faculty, the school’s commitment to academic excellence remains beyond question and its plethora of celebrity alumni help consistently keep its name in the news.

    To be Honest I don’t see what’s so wrong with the list! It seems to be some what consistent with many other respected publications such as US News & World Report, Princeton Review, and Forbes..In no particular order I agree with putting all these schools in the top 10 with the exception of North Carolina Central University. Also to the individual upset because their were no CIAA schools, what school in that conference do you think deserves to be in the top 10??? Lastly, Clark Atlanta does not deserve to be in the top 10! Just because youre located next to Morehouse and Spelman doesn’t mean your of the same caliber. Please cut it out lol. Of course this all my opinion but I agree with this list for the most part.

    How could you neglect to mention NC A&T as previously stated it has an excellent engineering program. No CIAA schools were even mentioned, bad list.

  • Eduardo Martinez-Amaya

    Ha!!! yeah right. morehouse is NOT ranked next to Johns Hopkins!

  • DJ

    Why isn’t NC A&T on the list

  • rasheda

    North Carolina A&T has one of the best engineering schools in the country…not of black schools but of ALL schools. For it to not make this list diminishes the validity of this list. No offense but Claflin?!! I’ve never heard of this school in my life.

    This is a horrible list, and I believe Anton Polouektov should have conducted further research before providing HIS insight as to whom should/should not be mentioned (actually the article within itself needs to be retracted). As an HBCU graduate/CAU Alumni (Clark Atlanta University …I’m sure this needed to be spelled out as well), I am thoroughly offended by leaving out SO many more deserving schools from the list. Was this list created based on funding/donor contributions, or the quality of celebrities which have spoken at Commencement ceremonies? Come on now. I REALLY would love to know how this list was compiled.

    This is the worst list of HBCUs i have ever seen.  How can you have a list and not include FAMU?!!! How many of the schools on this list have been named Time Magazine Princeton Review College of the Year? Check the link and then tell me why they aren’t on the list.  You guys should be ashamed of yourselves…smh

    where can ifind a hbcu with a great bussiness major

    • Daniel

      North Carolina Central University has a PHENOMENAL Business Program along with a #1 LAW Degree/Program as well

    • ERIKA

      Bethune-Cookman University has a great Business Program, as well. And even though my Alma Mater wasn’t on this list; I still feel that this was a great article and list that Madame Noire has published. We shouldn’t focus on who’s school didn’t make the cut; that’s not the main focus here. Focus on how far we have come from as a black community/movement when the world didn’t think we can make it thus far.
