| the real question here is why are there still black colleges? I suppose you could go to Grambling State University |
Is it against the law to have all Black colleges or Television Channel or college funds? I know this is a touchy subject but someone said something that set off a flag in my head today. They said that Blacks have the ***** college fund. They have BET (Black Entertainment Television) and Colleges that are strictly Black and I got to thinking isn't that against the law in the United States of America? I mean if there was a WET (white entertainment television) wouldn't someone be screaming racism? And have lawsuits coming out their ears. |
| It would be illegal for a college to not allow a student based on their race. There are colleges who are predominantly black, but they are not allowed to discriminate. |
Historically black college lower stanards for whites? Someone help! In sociology we watched a video on a historically black college in the south and up until recent years (early 90s if I remember correctly) whites were giving lower standards. They were giving a lower minimum GPA to be accepted into the schools.
Can anyone give me a link to this info? |
| Yes, it's affirmative action for whites basically. They're trying to increase their enrollment by marketing to a different group. They want more people in general to attend their schools. There aren't many black people in America, but there are tons of white people, so the HBCUs are trying to get more whites to attend their schools by lowering the standards. The low tuition alone has been attracting more whites. |
Can people of other ethnicity go to a historically black college? I am indian and I want to go to a historically black college. Can I go there? |
| Yes they can't refuse you based on race or ethnicity. |
How can I transfer to a Historically Black College with financial help? I'm a first-semester freshman at California State University, Sacramento. I'm seriously considering moving to a Historically Black College University. I don't feel that Sac State is where I belong. I wanted to know if there is any way to get there with financial help. I would really love to expand my horizons. ANY advice would help.. Thank You |
Tuition and financial aid packages at HBCUs vary widely, just like at any other school. If you're a California resident, you won't be able to get in-state tuition at the HBCU you choose, so you'll have to pay more for college. But it's worth it (I know from experience - I'm from California and I went to an HBCU).
You will need to fill out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) for your sophomore year, and include whatever schools you're interested in transferring to.
Also, look into scholarships. www.fastweb.com is a site I always hear recommended (it didn't help me, but it doesn't hurt to try). And the schools you apply to can tell you about their scholarships (I received two scholarships from Spelman College - one was a 4-year Dean's Scholarship).
There are also work-study jobs on campus, and there's the option of working on campus through "general college," which is basically where they hire students to work in the computer labs, etc. |
What is a good black college to study and major in social work and group home workers? i would like to work in a group home with young teens what black college has the best major for that? |
You will want to take the list from the other poster and go to www.cswe.org - and see if they have accredited BSW programs. I know that Florida A & M does - heard mixed things about it.

Is tennessee state university a black college? Been checking out the website and it reminded of a lot of black college websites. Anyone who has attended know? |
Yes. It's a land-grant college that is historically black. In fact, it is the only state-funded university in Tennessee that is a historically black school.
Moses Gunn and Oprah Winfrey both attended Tennessee State. |
Can a white person get a scholarship to a black college? I am interested in Morgan State University in Maryland. They have a good engineering dept. It is a historically black college. Will a white person receive a diversity scholarship? If so, how much do you think I will get? |
Good question (I am white as well). I live in the Atlanta area where we have the largest concentration of historically black colleges in the world. These fine universities/colleges produce/offer many diverse educational opportunities to all that apply and accepted.
However, do not get discouraged if not accepted. Understand young blacks in this country have not had the opportunities available for higher education due to many reasons. Therefore, your acceptance to attend Morgan State may be determined by the number of qualified students of other races.
Always speak to someone at the college and visit, in person, if at all possible. You will get a better understanding and school adviser(s) will get to know you as well. Ask for the percentages of whites attending and accepted.
Attending Morgan State will give you an opportunity most of us never obtain, learning and understanding others to make this a better world to live.
Good Luck. |
Advice for a white student in a predominantly black college? What advice would give a white student attending a predominantly black college? |
| Don't make eye contact, watch the movie's "South Central", "Boys in the Hood", "Menace to Society", "Juice", "Friday", and most importantly "Malibu's Most Wanted!" You need to learn to adapt! You're the minority, which means they'll try and keep you down, you might hear racial slurs directed toward you...pay them no mind it's just ignorance. If its a big campus and you need to take buses for transportation, sit at the front of the bus..you have as much right as they do! Don't use the peace sign, call anyone "Bro", or if your class room is having a debate and they're all against you do not use the phrase "You people" such as " You people are all nuts" even if you weren't using it in a derogitory manner they might automatically assume its about their color. Join a band...in the movie "Drumline" thats how some of the white guys survived... |
What black college offer graphic design courses? PLEASE DONT SAY I'M RACIST!! my mom just really wants me to go to a black college (she's not racist either) and i want to be a graphic designer. If not then any recommendations for good colleges? |
A black college? Um, I don't think there is an all black college. The only one I can think of that a friend of mine goes to is Bethune Cookman College in Dania Beach, FL.
By the way, college should be your choice and where you would be happy at - not your mother's. She's not going to live out the 4 years for you. |
