THEE Realist

​

Attending an HBCU offers a compelling advantage: the opportunity to acquire vital skills that pave the way for significant earning prospects post-graduation.HBCUs often highlight their success stories, citing accomplished alumni across diverse industries to demonstrate the financial opportunities available to black college graduates.

OnlineU conducted a study that listed the top ten HBCUs with the highest earning potential. In the article by Taylor Nichols, the data examined median earnings by college and compared it to the state salary threshold, which represents the median salary for Black graduates in that state with similar education levels.

OnlineU collected all college data using the Equitable Value Explorer from the Postsecondary Value Commission. The median salaries indicate earnings 10 years after enrollment. We compared each college’s median alumni earnings to the Black Threshold 1 (Black T1), which shows the earnings premium for Black graduates with similar education levels in the same state. Though there is no disaggregated data available for Black HBCU graduates, our study focused on schools with a minimum of 50% Black student enrollment that primarily offer bachelor’s degrees.

Not a big surprise here in ATL...it lines up about like that. Kinda surprised Morehouse isn't on there though.

Based upon the below information from SmartAsset, Prairie View A&M University should be #3 on this list. Because our tuition is much lower than Spelman, Howard, Morehouse and Hampton, PVAMU is a better value as well.
