Overview

Historically Black Colleges and Universities
Minority-Serving Institutions

The South is home to 90% of the nation’s historically Black colleges and universities, which share a distinct mission but are far from monolithic. Public and private, large and small, famous or well-kept secret, they face a wide range of issues. 

SREB supports HBCUs and other minority-serving institutions by helping them share resources, build capacity and reaffirm their value to students and communities.

Overview

SREB HBCU-MSI Collaborative

The HBCU-MSI Collaborative builds strategic partnerships with historically Black colleges and universities and other minority-serving institutions in higher education throughout the 16-state region. Working with state agencies, education leaders and philanthropic organizations, this SREB group pursues ways to increase capacity and competitiveness among these institutions, including sharing online courses among member institutions.

SREB HBCU-MSI Course-Sharing Consortium

Designed to help more students graduate on time, the course-sharing consortium emerged from the SREB HBCU-MSI Collaborative, which fosters partnerships to increase capacity and improve student success in like-minded institutions.
