Top 10 Best
Black College Web Sites
 

    In October 2001, the Digital Learning Lab at Howard University published its findings of "best Web sites" after a survey/study of 103 historically black colleges and universities. The final ratings, intended to help HBCUs use Web technologies more effectively, were based on an evaluation of 22 target areas. 65 of the colleges failed the survey's "two clicks" test, which indicated that topics like financial aid, directories, and libraries were more that a couple of clicks away from each site's home page. Only 37 of the sites had search functions, and only 24 had site maps which make navigating and finding info easier.
