Privilege: Most HBCUs don't offer this major

Most historically black colleges and universities do not offer women’s studies as a major, which contrasts with most of the mainstream higher education institutions in America.

HBCUs either don’t offer the major at all, or they only offer it as a minor or as part of an interdisciplinary program, according to research conducted by The College Fix, which looked at 45 of the largest HBCUs in the country.

Of the 45 reviewed, only Spelman and Simmons colleges offer women’s studies as a major. Of the remaining, seven offered it as a minor or as part of an overall humanities major. The rest did not offer it as a minor or emphasis.
