Tradisjonelt svarte læresteder i USA

Tradisjonelt svarte læresteder i USA (engelsk: historically black colleges and universities) er et begrep og en formell organisering av universiteter i USA som åpnet for svarte studenter på en tid da dette ikke var allment vanlig i USA. Enkelte av lærestedene ble startet av svarte akademikere og forretningsmenn, mens de fleste åpnet for svarte på et tidlig tidspunkt som ledd i en liberal strategi, ikke minst like etter borgerkrigen.

Det er 117 tradisjonelt svarte colleger og universiteter i USA, når man inkluderer både offentlige og private læresteder samt community colleges. Læresteder som ble startet etter at svarte som følge av Brown vs Board of Education (1954) fikk universell studieadgang til høyere utdanning i USA i 1965, regnes uansett ikke med blant de historiske svarte lærestedene.

The Higher Education Act of 1965, definerer en HBCU som:

"…any historically black college or university that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the education of black Americans, and that is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association determined by the Secretary [of Education] to be a reliable authority as to the quality of training offered or is, according to such an agency or association, making reasonable progress toward accreditation."
