HBCU college tours are a great way for college-bound high school students to witness the Black College experience first hand. These students have an opportunity to visit multiple schools in a single trip. They also get to observe the diversity of HBCUs from small to large and from rural to urban settings. Also, visitors will appreciate the cultural and geographic diversity of Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
Many of the HBCU Tours include round-trip airfare, chartered bus accommodations, meals, campus visits and cultural activities. The HBCU visits range from five to 10 schools per trip and prices range from $600-$1,500 per tour. Fees typically are paid installments, but check with the individual tour companies for payment arrangements. Below we have compiled our list of upcoming HBCU College tours.
