The HBCU Career Services Survey was developed by The HBCU Career Center and shared with all 105 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in 2018. The first version of this survey was conducted in 2012.
This survey is the first and only of its kind. The purpose of the survey was to establish the state of staffing, resources, structure and services at HBCU career centers. Additionally, survey questions sought to understand employer relationships with HBCU career centers.
Career centers at thirty four (34) colleges and universities submitted responses online via Survey Monkey.
The HBCU Career Center does not make any claims about the scientific nature of the survey, but guarantees that the results are as shared by the participating schools. Each survey participant received a copy of Resume Guide; How to Look Good on Paper and one participant received a $150 gift card.
