Course availability has long been a barrier to college completion, forcing some students to delay graduation when required classes aren’t offered—or even transfer elsewhere to stay on track.In response, eHBCU, a group of six historically Black colleges and universities launched last year, announced a new course-sharing partnership last week that allows students to remain enrolled at their home institution while accessing courses offered at other participating HBCUs.The consortium, led by Delaware State University, partnered with online course-sharing company Acadeum to support the initiative. Through the partnership, students can enroll in approved online courses offered by another eHBCU member without transferring institutions or losing progress toward their degree.Participating institutions include Delaware State University, Southern University and A&M College, Southern University at Shreveport, Southern University at New Orleans, Alabama State University, and Pensole Lewis College of Business & Design.
