O knihe

This book provides context about the experiences of Black graduate and professional students attending
HBCUs. Indeed, such research is important, particularly since HBCUs play a significant role in the number
of Blacks who receive doctorates and professional degrees (i.e. M.D., D.D.S., J.D. etc.), especially in
science and engineering. In fact, according to Redd and Minor (2008), the role of HBCUs in graduate education
will become even more significant as more seek to offer graduate and professional programs, particularly
at the doctoral level. This book focuses on the historical nature of graduate and professional
education at HBCUs and the programs' contribution to society.
Further, it provides context about the experiences of students who have attended these institutions for their
post-baccalaureate pursuits. Finally, the book addresses the future of graduate and professional education
at HBCUs and what fundamental aspects are needed to ensure their survival, competitiveness, and growth.
This book appeals to faculty, departmental chairs, administrators, and students. Furthermore, higher education
scholars, who conduct or have an interest in pursuing empirical research on Black graduate and professional education or the efficacy and relevance
of HBCUs, will find this book useful given its unique and comprehensive approach focusing on supporting retaining, and graduating Black
graduate students at HBCUs. In addition, this book is an invaluable teaching resource for faculty in Higher Education Administration, Student Affairs,
or Sociology program
