The HBCU Pathways Program raises awareness and expands recruitment opportunities for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) among individuals of African descent worldwide. Our mission is to bridge the gap between legacy and culture while creating clear pathways to higher education, particularly for students interested in political science, policy, or international affairs.

Whether you are a student, recent graduate, parent, or community partner, the HBCU Pathways Program connects you to opportunities that honor our shared heritage and open doors to future leadership.

Signature Event: HBCUs, Careers & Culture Summit

To increase access and engagement, the HBCUs, Careers & Culture Summit travels to different regions and countries, bringing together HBCU representatives, employers, and students of African ancestry. The summit offers prospective students and graduates the opportunity to connect directly with HBCUs and industry professionals. These events combine college admission activities with career exploration opportunities, helping students link their academic goals with real-world career pathways.
