| Abstract | This study compares African American students ’ educational engagement and satisfaction at Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and their self-identified peer Predominantly White Institutions (PWI). Data of this study came from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) that includes a sample of 1,631 seniors from 17 HBCU’s and 2,939 seniors from 246 PWI’s. The reuslts of this study show that African American seniors at HBCU’s are generally equally or more engaged in educationally purposeful activities than their peers at PWI’s. However, the higher engagement of African American students at HBCU’s does not translate into higher student satisfaction. A further investigation indicated that student’s relationships with administrative personnel and offices may be the prominent factor affecting student satisfaction at HBCU’s. |
