The complete ranking can be found at http://www.collegechoice.net/rankings/best-historically-black-colleges-universities/.

College Choice rankings of HBCUs are based exclusively on factors actual college freshmen said were most important to their college decision. According to the most recent nationwide survey published by the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA, these factors include academic reputation, financial aid offerings, overall cost, and success of graduates in the post-college job market. Each of these factors were weighted equally in the ranking and data was derived from a variety of publicly available sources, including U.S. News & World Report, the National Center for Education Statistics, and PayScale.com.

There are more than 100 historic black colleges and universities, a majority of them located in the Southeastern United States.
