Move over Howard University, Spelman College and Hampton University… This Florida HBCU is taking over national rankings! And this is how they did it. 

For decades, conversations about the nation’s top historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) almost always began with the same names. Schools like Howard University and Spelman College have long been viewed as the gold standard, attracting many of the country’s highest-achieving Black students – until right now. 

 Recent rankings and enrollment data suggest there is a new sheriff in town. As Black students continue enrolling at HBCUs in record numbers, Florida A&M University (FAMU) is emerging as the nation’s top-performing HBCU, backed by strong academic rankings, student success metrics and steady enrollment growth.
