Abstract: This study assessed variability in Historically Black Colleges and Universities’ (HBCUs) educational outcomes. Analyses were conducted on two nationally representative databases via hierarchical linear and nonlinear modeling. Intraclass correlation coefficients for HBCUs were compared with those of (a) a random sample—theorized to have no systematic similarity in educational outcomes to HBCUs and (b) a sample of other Predominately Black Institutions (PBIs). Findings indicate that HBCUs’ educational outcomes were generally more cohesive than those of the random sample, and this cohesiveness followed a different pattern than the cohesiveness of outcomes at other PBIs. On the whole, then, this study suggests that educational outcomes at HBCUs are cohesive and distinct from other institutional groups.
