“…Scholars posit that many factors unique to the HBCU experience-including improved psychological adjustment, sense of belonging, and an emphasis on African-American identity and values-may facilitate greater academic success for African-American students (Arroyo and Gasman 2014). Additionally, HBCUs tend to employ more African-American professors than non-HBCUs (Harper 2019), which may enhance the mentorship experience for many African-American students (e.g., Dickens et al 2021;Dunbar 2018;Lovett et al 2022). Upon graduation, African-American HBCU students tend to achieve higher lifetime earnings, higher status occupations, and greater job satisfaction than African-American graduates from non-HBCUs (e.g., Esters and Strayhorn 2013).…”

Career and technical education (CTE) is considered a key academic pathway for sustainable careers in several high-growth industries. However, African–American employees are underrepresented in these industries. Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) may represent invaluable options to address this inequality. Our analysis of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) suggests that HBCUs provide fewer CTE options than a matched sample of non-HBCUs. The most commonly available CTE programs appear in less than one-quarter of HBCUs, and nearly one-quarter of CTE industries are unrepresented. Although some programs are well-positioned to address African–American employee underrepresentation, others are completely absent. Findings connecting HBCU CTE programs to occupations with high projected growth or living wage salaries are also mixed. Overall, these results may be informative for academic policymakers, administrators, and students.
