Whats an HBCU?
An HBCU is an acronym for a historically black college or university. Virginia Union University was founded in 1865 “to give the newly emancipated an opportunity for freeing the mind in an ethical, humanistic environment.” VUU is a charter member of The College Fund/UNCF, a consortium of select HBCUs across the nation. Today the University opens its doors to all qualified students and welcomes diversity among faculty and staff as well as the student body.
