Thesis

Many African American students decide to go to integrated colleges based on academics, majors, accreditation, higher learning, party life, and diversity, whereas other African Americans choose to attend HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges/Universities) for racial comfort, majors, party life, uniformity, and experience. But besides ethnic separation are integrated colleges and HBCUs different? Can attending a Historically Black College improve the education of an African American student better than a diverse school can? Although there have been years of efforts to desegregate schools to give African American students equal opportunities, some black students still choose to receive education at black colleges.
