Description: Historically black colleges and universities contribute disproportionately to the nation’s postsecondary outcomes, enrolling and graduating a greater share of students—especially those from low-income, academically-underprepared backgrounds—than their numbers indicate. They have brought considerable value to their communities, alumni and the nation at large for over 150 years and continue to do so with their mission and productivity, particularly in certain degree fields, like STEM. Join Brian Bridges, United Negro College Fund Vice President for Research & Member Engagement, as he discusses the current and future productivity of these institutions through key statistics and trends.
