Today, black colleges are still the main source of education for professionally trained African Americans. For example:
Eight of the top ten schools that produce African American engineers are HBCUs
42 percent of all Ph.D.s earned each year by African Americans are earned by graduates of HBCUs
18 of the top 23 producers of African Americans who go on to receive science related Ph.D.s are HBCUs
