|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on June 24, 2025 The eHBCU consortium portal has officially launched, bringing the transformative experience of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to students everywhere. This groundbreaking initiative, led by Delaware State University, Southern University and A&M College, Alabama State University, and Pensole Lewis College of Business & Design, is the first-of-its-kind digital learning experience designed to remove barriers to higher education and expand access to the excellence, culture, and legacy of HBCUs. See the eHBCU launch video at https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kIuxj51z2jk... Despite enrollment in HBCUs nearly doubling in recent years, more than 6 million Black Americans have received some college credit, but were not able to complete their degree. eHBCU seeks to close this gap, transforming educational access by offering: • Flexible online degree and certificate programs tailored for diverse learners. • Academically rigorous coursework designed to reflect the historic excellence and distinctive teaching approach of HBCUs. • Industry mentorship and career preparation from HBCU alumni and faculty. • A vibrant virtual community fostering connection, networking, and lifelong relationships "Since 1837, HBCUs have served as beacons of hope and bastions of historic excellence, producing leaders, innovators, and changemakers across industries," said Terry Jeffries, Assistant Vice President, Delaware State University, and Executive Director of eHBCU. "With eHBCU, we're extending this distinguished academic tradition into the digital future—ensuring the next generation has access to this legacy of excellence regardless of where they live." HBCUs have long played a pivotal role in advancing opportunity and promoting excellence in every field through their world-class educational approach. Building on the HBCU tradition of providing pathways to opportunity, eHBCU extends this mission by: • Engaging with organizations like Blue Meridian and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to fund educational access. • Expanding opportunities for professional development and career education through programs designed for working adults, career changers, and lifelong learners • Empowering students with digital skills for a modern workforce. Prospective students, educators, and corporate partners are encouraged to learn more and enroll today at ehbcu.edu. ABOUT eHBCU The eHBCU Consortium is a historic collaboration between Delaware State University, Southern University and A& M College, Alabama State University, and Pensole Lewis College of Business & Design.
