Abstract
This research examines the benefits of attending HBCUs vs PWI for black college students. Using a College Board Data set merged with National Student Clearing House data this paper finds that there is an increase in the likelihood of graduating with a bachelor's degree for black students attending an HBCU. Additionally, when comparing only those students who graduate, HBCUs are more likely to produce a black STEM graduate.
