Founded in 1867, Howard University is a private, research
university comprised of 13 schools and colleges. Students pursue studies in
more than 120 areas leading to undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees.
To date, Howard has awarded more than 120,000 degrees in the arts, the
sciences, and the humanities. The historic main campus sits on a hilltop in
Northwest Washington blocks from the storied U Street and Howard Theatre. We
are two miles from the U.S. Capitol where many students intern, and scores of
alumni shape national and foreign policy.
Howard is a leader in STEM fields. The National Science
Foundation has ranked Howard as the top producer of African-American
undergraduates who later earn science and engineering doctoral degrees. The
University also produces more minority doctoral graduates in computer science
than any other university in the nation and boasts nationally ranked programs
in social work, business and communication sciences and disorders. In 2013, The
Washington Post named Howard "An Incubator for Cinematographers."
The College of Medicine is internationally regarded for
its illustrious legacy of training students to become competent and
compassionate physicians who provide health care in medically underserved
communities at home and abroad. The College is a national leader in studying
health disparities among people of color and is one of America's top
institutions for training women surgeons. The Howard University Health Sciences
division includes the Howard University Hospital and the Colleges of Dentistry,
Pharmacy, and as well as Nursing and Allied Health Sciences.
For more than 140 years, the Howard University School of
Law has served as an advocate for social justice and as an architect of social
change. It has produced more than 4,000 social engineers including the first
African-American Supreme Court Justice, noted legislators, civil rights
attorneys, mayors and public officials across the United States. In 2012, the
Law School was ranked among the top 20 public service schools by National
