Howard University is named for its founder, Oliver Otis Howard, and was established in 1867 as an alternative school for African American college students. This historic university is a great place for student groups to experience the history of African American college students and to look toward their own future. When Howard University first opened, and still to this day, it is a private, non-sectarian school, meaning a college where both men and women of any race may attend.
This University features Graduate programs in Pharmacy, Law, Medicine, Dentistry and Divinity. This college has played a very important role in American history. Some of its more famous alumni include, Alaine Locke, who was the first African American Rhodes Scholar, and Thurgood Marshall, a member of the legal team for the case, “Brown vs. The Board of Education”.
