Decomposing differences in Black student graduation rates between HBCU and non-HBCU Institutions: The devil is in the details

Six-year graduation rates of Black students at HBCUs are confirmed to match those of Black students at similar non-HBCUs. Digging deeper identifies which mechanisms that translate student and institutional characteristics into graduation rates still differ. •6-year Black graduation rates of HBCUs ma...

description Six-year graduation rates of Black students at HBCUs are confirmed to match those of Black students at similar non-HBCUs. Digging deeper identifies which mechanisms that translate student and institutional characteristics into graduation rates still differ. •6-year Black graduation rates of HBCUs match those of comparable non-HBCUs.•Decomposing raw difference reveals ways HBCUs can yet improve graduation rates.•HBCUs can improve rates by devoting resources to first generation college students.•HBCUs can improve rates by focusing on students with lower SAT scores.
