Abstract: For decades, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have played a primary role in the educational, economic and professional development of African Americans. Many African American graduates from these institutions continue to make significant contributions to the accounting profession. This article describes changes in HBCU accounting programs and faculties from 1994 to 2006. We find that since 1994, doctoral programs in business have been established at two HBCUs; the number of AACSB accredited business programs has considerably increased; and, there has been a substantial increase in the number and percentage of HCBU accounting faculty with doctoral degrees. This information documents the progress of accounting programs at HBCUs and provides a base-line for measuring future changes.
