Why dont any of the HBCU's offer exclusively online classes?
- Thread starter Still Benefited
- Start date
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.
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.
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

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?

Unqualified ? No.
Not as qualified as a black man that completed a 4 year degree in a traditional manner ?Hell Yes
Morehouse College tried to do this a couple of years ago as an intuitive to get more Black men college degrees (Morehouse Online) but it went really really bad as Morehouse and the Online company 2U had some serious issues.
Morehouse struggled to develop the Online curriculum and struggled to get the professors to handle it.
Morehouse didn’t have the capacity to deal with the influx and only offered three degree options while 2U wasn’t prepared to deliver those programs.
The 2U company and the financial aid group with Morehouse weren’t in sync leading to financial aid issues.
Morehouse weren’t accepting many transfer credits so some people who wanted to go back to finish their degrees became Freshman again.
Also some students didn’t feel like the were really Morehouse men.
It was just a disaster overall

Anyone who went to an HBCU knows why standards would completely go out the window.Why cant a 34 year old black man from Alabama go to Howard? If its really about blackness and doing whats best for the community?Offering up exclusively online classes would not only help them financially,but it would also help black folks nationwide. Alot of this HBCUs are poorly managed and dont realize they are sitting on a gold mine
I honestly cant think of a good reason,so maybe yall can offer some. Other than "Bu bu but PWI's dont do it".
Big white schools protect their brands by giving another name to the fugazy online schools
Like going to the University of Maryland is different from Maryland university college
Most schools have partial online programs I attempted the masters program at Fayetteville state
Should've just went to the main fraud diploma mills like Central Michigan

Again. Based on what? I just think this is an antiquated way of thinking when it comes to education and learning in general.

I get it. But one of the main benefits of going to a HBCU is the on campus experience. I went to one but I commuted becuz I only lived a few minutes away but I always wished I stayed on campus

What made you think I wanted to go to an HBCU? I clearly stated I learned more from thecoli and youtube than i did in school. And im clearly smarter than you,and projected to have more money if I dont already. But the key to focus on is that you are clearly a dumbass and horrible representation of Jackson State. They would rather people not know you went there. Do them a favor and take that out of your profile

You should look into online sex offender classes.
