The Higher Education Act of 1965 defines an HBCU as "any historically black college or

university that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the

education of black Americans, and that is accredited by a nationally recognized

accrediting agency or association determined by the Secretary (of Education) to be a reliable authority as to the quality of training offered or is, according to such an agency or association, making reasonable

progress toward accreditation.”
