Is Spelman Ivy League?
Spelman College is not a part of a group of eight highly competitive US colleges and universities called the Ivy Leagues. However, it’s one of the ten HBCUs that make up the Black Ivy League schools. These schools are referred to as such for acquiring the top African-American students in the US.
Can you go to an HBCU if you’re not Black?
Students of any race and ethnicity can apply for an HBCU, provided that they meet the grade requirements. Usually when applying for university in the US, you’re required to fill out one application per school.
Why are HBCU better for Black students?
HBCUs generated 25 percent of all bachelor’s degrees in STEM fields for African Americans. HBCUs awarded 14 percent of all African American engineering degrees. HBCU students paid an average total cost of attendance that was 26 percent lower than four-year non-profit colleges.
