Howard University: Over 150 Years of Truth, Service, and Global Impact

Founded in 1867 on a bedrock of post-Civil War idealism, Howard University has grown into one of the nation’s premier private research universities. Our story is one of unwavering commitment to excellence, social justice, and global leadership. Comprised of 14 schools and colleges, Howard offers a vibrant academic ecosystem where students pursue 143 programs of study leading to undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees. Our enduring commitment to “Excellence in Truth and Service”—manifested in our motto, Veritas et Utilitas—is the engine that drives us to shape the next generation of global leaders.

A Legacy of Exceptional Scholarship

Howard University consistently produces scholars who achieve at the highest levels of global competition. Our rigorous academic environment and dedication to mentorship have resulted in an exceptional roster of prestigious award winners, including:

Four Rhodes Scholars
Four Marshall Scholars
Twelve Truman Scholars
Three Schwarzman Scholars
25 Pickering Fellows
More than 165 Fulbright recipients

Beyond these remarkable individual honors, Howard is also recognized as the leading institution in the United States for producing the most African American Ph.D. recipients who conduct their doctoral work on campus.

Pioneering Excellence in STEM and Beyond

Howard is a powerhouse in fields critical to the nation’s future, especially STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The National Science Foundation has consistently ranked Howard as the top producer of African American undergraduates who go on to earn science and engineering doctoral degrees. This distinction underscores our vital role in diversifying the scientific pipeline and driving innovation.

But our impact extends far beyond the hard sciences. The University also boasts nationally ranked programs in social work, business, and communications, producing influential professionals across every sector. Our graduates are highly sought after, prepared not just with a degree, but with a deep, practical understanding of how to apply their knowledge to solve complex, real-world problems.

Redefining Health and Justice

Our professional schools stand as pillars of service, both domestically and internationally:

The Howard University Health Sciences Division

The College of Medicine holds an internationally regarded legacy, training competent and compassionate physicians dedicated to providing quality healthcare in medically underserved communities at home and abroad. A national leader in studying and addressing health disparities among people of color, the College is also one of America’s top institutions for training women surgeons, breaking barriers and setting new standards. This division is anchored by the renowned Howard University Hospital and includes the Colleges of Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Nursing and Allied Health Sciences—all working in concert to advance public health.

The Howard University School of Law (HUSL)

For more than 150 years, HUSL has served not just as a school, but as a critical advocate for social justice and an architect of social change. It has proudly produced more than 4,000 “social engineers,” including the first African American Supreme Court Justice, noted legislators, groundbreaking civil rights attorneys, and mayors across the United States. Testament to its enduring impact, preLaw magazine ranks HUSL as the No. 1 law school for African Americans.

A Global Culture of Service

At the heart of the Howard experience is service. Our community of over 14,000 undergraduate and graduate students dedicates hundreds of thousands of hours each year to local engagement in nearby LeDroit Park, national initiatives, and global outreach. Our dedication to global citizenship is clear: over the U.S. Peace Corps’ 50-year history, more than 200 Howard graduates have served as volunteers around the globe, the highest number among all historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

As we reflect on our 158 years, Howard University remains resolute in its commitment to further enhancing its strategic positioning as one of the top research universities in the nation. We are uniquely positioned to ensure that the next 150 years are as glorious, influential, and impactful as the past.
