Historically Black Colleges and Universities are spiking in enrollment.

Bowie State University President Aminta Breaux said their enrollment continues to rise every year.

โ€œWeโ€™re seeing more students from the West Coast, the Midwest, from the southern states,โ€ Breaux said.

Bowie State expects an eight-percent increase in enrollment, while Howard University had a more than 15-percent enrollment increase.

โ€œThis has the potential to be our largest freshman class everโ€ฆ certainly in the last 30 years,โ€ Howard Provost and Chief Academic Officer Anthony Wutoh said.

The numbers are expected to be even higher, as HBCU officials believe calls for racial justice, and a few other factors influenced students.

โ€œAcross the country, those who never heard about HBCUs and didnโ€™t understand the value that we bring to our communities now learning about HBCUs,โ€ Breaux said.
