         Historically Black Colleges and the Ph.D.
                            (An Overview)

"Several historically black colleges and universities produce a greater percentage of graduates who go on to earn doctoral degrees than do many of the nation's highest-ranked colleges and universities. But when we look at Ph.D. productivity in the sciences, black colleges do not fare as well. Overall, among the black colleges Fisk University is the leader in Ph.D. productivity."

the Ph.D. go to: http://www.jbhe.com/features/34_hbcuphd.html)
