Here is a website for deep discounts on educational software

I rarely promote businesses but this student discount site caught my eye. I reviewed the site and read numerous customer reviews. This is legitimate. I even ordered some software from them. The name of the company is studentdiscounts.com. Make certain you spell it correctly! It is DISCOUNTS not DISCOUNT.

HBCUs Doctoral degree offerings

HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) Offering Doctoral Programs
The Human Development Group put together a list of HBCUs and the doctoral degrees offered. A list of links to ALL HBCUs may be found at the Department of Education website

The majority of HBCUs are not themselves doctoral granting institutions. The HD Group staff visited every HBCU website and made phone calls to the institutions in some cases to create this list. We have made every attempt to be accurate. Please contact us if errors are found.
