From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Howard University is a historically black college in Washington, D.C. It was established by a Congressional charter in 1867, and much of its early funding came from the Freedmen's Bureau.
Howard has graduate schools of law, medicine, dentistry, and divinity, in addition to the undergraduate program. The current enrollment (as of 2003) is approximately 11,000, including 7,000 undergraduates.
