Founded in 1867 just two years after the abolition of slavery, Howard University is a private research university in Washington, D.C. — and the most distinguished HBCU in the United States. Often referred to as "The Mecca," Howard has produced more Black doctoral graduates than any other institution in the country.
With 14 schools and colleges enrolling 11,000+ undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, Howard maintains R1 research designation while preserving the rigor and mission of its founding. Notable alumni include Kamala Harris, Thurgood Marshall, Toni Morrison, and Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Howard sits in the historic Shaw and LeDroit Park neighborhoods of D.C., a 15-minute walk from the U Street Corridor — once known as "Black Broadway" and still a cultural anchor for the city.
