Spelman College Leads HBCU List in 2011 US News and World Report College Rankings

Spelman College tops the list of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU) in the 2011 U.S. News and World Report College Rankings, which was released late last week.

The all-women’s college in Atlanta, Georgia has earned the top spot for the third consecutive year in the U.S. News’ list of HBCUs.

Spelman also boasts the largest private endowment of any HBCU with $285.3 million. Howard University, which is ranked No. 104 on the National Universities list, has the largest overall endowment ($370.8 million), but the school receives millions in federal funds.

Howard, Morehouse College, Hampton University and Tuskegee University rounded out the top five.

Xavier University of Louisiana, Fisk University, Claflin University, Dillard University and Tougaloo College complete the top ten schools in the U.S. News college rankings.

Spelman and Morehouse, which are located across the street from each other, are ranked No. 59 and No. 127, respectively, in the National Liberal Arts Colleges rankings.
