Directory of HBCU DL Programs
Spring 2008 Directory of
HBCU Distance Learning Programs
All HBCUs = 102; DL Programs = 45; HBCUs offering DL programs = 44.1%
Last updated:6/4/2008 3:04:28 AM
Caveat #1: The following table only includes Internet-based courses and programs that are 100% online; it does not include courses and programs that use other media, e.g., videoconferencing,
videotape, audiotape, correspondence, etc.
Caveat #2: Degree programs are listed if the HBCU Website asserts that such programs exist. However, if an HBCU does not offer degree programs, its Website must display a list of online courses and
this list must be accessible to guests.

Note #1: This table only includes 100 percent online courses because 100 percent online courses can be readily identified by their
descriptions on an HBCU's Website. By contrast, "blended" courses contain online components as well as face-to-face components;
and "blended" programs mix face-to-face courses with courses that are either "blended" or 100 percent online. Therefore this table
does not include any "blended" distance learning courses or "blended" distance learning programs.
