Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) Rank Among Top Colleges and Universities in U.S.
|
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on April 13, 2022 In response to Malcolm Gladwell's investigation of possible bias against schools that work hard to create opportunities for students who face financial challenges, AcademicInfluence.com releases its rankings for colleges & universities that excel in Academic Stewardship. While Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) have until now been unfairly neglected or downgraded in the most prominent college rankings, Academic Influence found that HBCUs ranked among the top of schools that effectively manage their financial and human resources to gain the influence that makes them academically excellent. "The upshot is that many of the schools that rank highly in academic stewardship are HBCUs as well as those in smaller towns and rural areas, which might otherwise lead some people to overlook them in favor of so-called 'elite' schools," says Dr. Jed Macosko, academic director of AcademicInfluence.com and Wake Forest University professor of physics. "But we show why the smart use of an institution's resources through committed investment in students who need more from their school is a better measure of excellence. This is why we want to bring attention to academic stewardship and the schools that exemplify this virtue." The list includes: The 50 Best Colleges and Universities by Academic Stewardship The top 5 ranked schools Fisk University Hampshire College Tougaloo College New College of Florida Rust College To view all 50 schools in final ranking order, and to see additional schools beyond the top 50—visit the link above.
