Our take on the top HBCU Campuses in the U.S.

Taking a tour of an HBCU College campus is a crucial step for all prospective college students. If you are interested in attending any of the more than 100 historically black colleges and universities, HBCU college tours offer students the unique opportunity of visiting several campuses in a single trip.

Our campus trips are designed to educate students about the great opportunities that come with attending a historically black college or university. An HBCU College Tour is organized for a group of prospective students who travel via air/bus to tour multiple campuses of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) within a specified period of time. Students can expect to receive guided tours of the Historically Black Colleges in the itinerary, conducted by an admissions officer of an HBCU and/or a member of staff from a tour organization. While on tour, students will immerse themselves in the life on the campuses, experiencing culture and history firsthand. During their tours, students will watch campus activities and visit the bookstore. Along with visiting the university and taking the tour, students also visit the local museums and historic sites to complete the experience.
