Abstract
This research examines institutional and period variables associated with the annual number of four - year , baccalaureate degrees granted from historically Black colleges and universities ( HBCUs ) during the time series 1968 - 1993 . Separate models are estimated for public ( n=38 ) and private ( n=45 ) HBCUs . The results indicate that , in the public schools , for every 100 undergraduates enrolled 7 . 3 degrees are granted annually . The rate for the private schools is 14 . 0 degrees granted annually . Increases in the proportion of undergraduates enrolled full time has a positive effect on degrees granted for both types of HBCUs . Offering associate's degree programs significantly depresses the number of four year degrees granted in the public HBCUs . The period effects indicate that increases in federal funding levels for higher education are positively associated with degrees granted from public HBCUs . Lagged Black unemployment rates depress the number of private HBCU degrees granted annually . The period of the Adams order to desegregate public colleges had no effect on the public schools but was correlated with an increase in private school degrees .
