Why Use the African American College Guide
"I'll be using the guide for my children"
– Thomas Dorsey, CEO, SoulOfAmerica.com
Every year the college that wins the national championship in basketball and football receives a flood of admissions applications. Clearly cool basketball uniforms or success on the ball field is not the best way to decide where you'll be spending four of the most important years of your life.
Selecting a college is among life's most important decisions, but often students choose a college without a clue about which college is right for them.
Students are often left to make this important decision based on rumors or the opinions of people who are uninformed or misinformed.
That's why the staff of DayStar Educational Research conducted a survey of experts on the education of African Americans. We wanted to get the best possible information from the most qualified people. So, we conducted the DayStar Survey of African American Higher Education Professionals. We asked over 500 African American college presidents, deans, department chairs, admissions counselors and college recruiters to give their opinions on the best colleges for African American students.
The results of the survey are the "DayStar Guide to Colleges for African American Students," the Number 1 College Guide for African Americans. The DayStar Guide consists of 384 pages packed with information on over 400 colleges (including all of the historically black colleges) where African American students are thriving.
The DayStar Guide contains the collected advice of over 600 African American higher education professionals, the individuals most qualified to advise African American students.
DayStar also hosts CollegeCounts.com a joint project with Blackvoices.com (the largest African American oriented site on the Internet). CollegeCounts.com is the only college information site specifically targeted to the needs of African American students. For more information check us out at
