| Dillard Ranked Among Top HBCUs by U.S. News & World Report |
|
 Dillard University ranked among the top ten HBCUs for the fifth consecutive year in U.S. News & World Report’s long-running America's Best Colleges feature. Dillard was ranked at number nine. The publication ranked the country’s top 35 HBCUs in order.
This marks the fifth straight year that U.S. News & World Report has produced a ranking of undergraduate education at HBCUs. The colleges are compared only with one another for these rankings, using a special peer survey among HBCUs. In order to be on this rankings list, a school must be currently designated as an HBCU by the U.S. Department of Education, a status created as part of the Higher Education Act of 1965. Additionally, the college must be a baccalaureate-granting institution that enrolls primarily first-year, first-time students. |
