HBCUs are the new wave! HBCU's are seeing a surge in enrollment. Bowie State in Maryland is seeing an 8% increase in enrollment. Howard University is seeing a 15% increase. Howard University Provost said, this has the potential to be our largest freshman class ever. HBCU officials believe calls for racial justice and the attack on the U.S. Capitol as factors in the increase in enrollment. I didn't see numbers for Tennessee State University, but I'm willing to bet with all of the hype around their basketball and football programs, it's probably up. Love that HBCUs are getting the shine and enrollment they deserve!
