<p>If you can get your hands on a copy of the fiske guide they have an excellent write up about Spelman which is grwing in both popularity and selectivity. Spelman is part of the largest consortium of historically Black institutions of higher learning in the world. Its four partner institutions include Clark Atlanta University, the Interdenominational Theological Center, Morehouse College and Morehouse School of Medicine. The college ranks amongst the top 75 liberal arts colleges in the country (according to U.S. news).</p>
<p>Spelman is considered to be amongst the “black ivy league” of HBCUs and women that attend Spelman have access to some of the same type of opportunities as white counter parts; investment banking, employment opportunities as almost every top company looking to recruit minority women comes to Spelman.</p>
