Why dont any of the HBCU's offer exclusively online classes?

I don’t think you really looked. Howard is pressing for all of their programs to make a long term strategic plan to create a sister online option. Some programs already have them. So what program are you looking for?

First of all thats only 1 HBCU i used as an example

Second of all I believe you are wrong.

"Howard University's online degree programs are for students who have already completed a certain amount of college credit, typically at least 60 credit hours, as these programs are often designed as bachelor's degree completion programs for working professionals. These programs build upon prior academic work rather than starting from scratch. "



Does this sound like what im describing? Plus you didnt touch on getting as many black people in as you can.


GPA: The average unweighted GPA for admitted students is around 3.66, and many admitted students fall within a range of 3.4 to 3.8. A higher GPA generally strengthens an application.



This GPA seems a little high to me as well,so that needs to come down a bit.

Who will fund the infrastructure for these endeavors when the schools have been under siege and under funded for damn near the whole of their existence? There hasn't been enough time passed by to produce the volume of alumni, affluent or not, to have an endowment large enough to have the capital for non traditional avenues in abundance like that.......

All the millions in federal funding and they cant put w little aside to invest in future growth? I refuse to believe these HBCUs are just barely scraping by every year or in the red. If so there needs to be a complete overhaul. Im sure you could get some athletes or other black millionaires to pay for a damn online network if it was truly that bad anyway.

Is remote education any good? I'm skeptical of the whole idea...

Depends on the curriculum i would assume. Safe to say i learned more on thecoli and on youtube then i learned attending school. That will sound like a troll,but i guarantee thats the case for 90% of you if you think about it.

You have to be skeptical of regular school and secondary education with how retarded/ignorant "educated" people are in this country. If the cirriculum aint right,it wont work regardless of how you do it. We need a COMPLETE overhaul of the HBCU

Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of going to a HBCU?

Not really

If you are attending school online, you still interact with your peers remotely, especially when engaging in message board discussions.

In addition, you have the opportunity to be graded by someone that understands you, than some CAC professor

Nobody is hiring a degree from an HBCU that is done online .

Graduate
Programs ,sure.

Because Howard wants their money and they know a lot of kids will choose the online option. They do have an online bachelors program but the major is “Human Development”. IMO, they should offer one in Liberal Studies like most schools do. IIRC, Georgetown has like 5 degree programs you can take online.

This… Money first and foremost. Also, most HBCUs don’t have the infrastructure to facilitate online classes to thousands of students at a time

What is this based off of? So if you saw an online degree from Morehouse, you would automatically think that black man is unqualified for the position?
