African American Diversity

<p>Can you guys name some top schools that have a medium to good African American population. Please don't include Historically Black Colleges.</p>

<p>The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education " has ranked America's leading universities according to their relative success in attracting, enrolling, and graduating African-American students as well as their progress in bringing black professors to their campuses. Universities are ranked according to a blending of 13 widely accepted quantitative measures of institutional racial integration. "</p>

<p>According to them, the top 5 are in descending order: Duke, Emory, Princeton, Washington University, Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>"For the past 10 years The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education has been collecting standard racial data bearing on the relative success of the nation's leading universities in bringing black students and faculty to their campuses."</p>

<p>If ya go to <a href="http://www.collegedata.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.collegedata.com&lt;/a> you can search by colleges and get pretty accurate percentages of minorities by race, etc.</p>

<p>IF the schools you are interested in has a common data set, you can also look of the number of students currently attending by race</p>

<p>I'm not an expert on this, but I'll bet there are big differences in such things as self-segregation, availability of a theme house and other activities, local AA population and cultural activities and a number of other intangibles. If any of these are important to you, I would inquire further, but I'm not sure exactly where.</p>
