As a white woman- I have no idea lmao but I do remember the stat saying that GSU graduated more black students than any HBCU a couple years ago. Not trying to flex on HBCUs lmfao I just think it’s cool since GSU is a great school and also pretty affordable, so I hope it’s having a good impact on the black community like the stats make it seem.
I’ve always always always been an advocate of GSU and their social mobility for students. GSU invests an insane amount of resources into their students..networking events, an active young alumni association, speakers, … just have to take advantage.
I started Fall 2019, quickly fell into Covid and then finally graduated December 2021. Genuinely wish I did just a tad bit more of taking advantage of the (fewer) resources they had at the time
I mean black students are the majority but PBI demographics are way more skewed.
In the graduate CS program, I can't even relate to the idea that this institution is predominantly black. It's like 95% south asian.
the statistics on this are interesting:
last time i looked, it was like 40% black, 20% white, 20% hispanic, 15% asian, and like 5% other. so it's definitely majority-minority, and the largest single demographic is black people, but they don't cross the 50% mark.
so maybe? it defo is steeped in atlanta culture, so culturally it's pretty black, but i guess it depends on what exactly your definition of PBI is

And theres another, you know, so you can educate yourself on what a PBI is. I’ll be happy to send you more examples. Oh and these links were all found on a Google search of “PBI college”
Several posts were made before you commented. If you were smart enough to Google PBI, then you’re smart enough to take context clues and do more adequate research before commenting.

Since you're so smart. Here is another. A simple Google search of “PBI college” and you would have found your answer. Context clues. This is a subreddit about a college. Why tf would anything that doesn't have to do with college apply to this topic. You have two brain cells, use them.
OP, maybe you should take your own advice and do a simple Google search: "is Georgia State a PBI."
Answer: "Georgia State University is designated as a Predominantly Black Institution (PBI) and receives federal grants supporting the school's efforts to serve low and middle-income Black Americans."

I have done my research on GSU being a PBI. My question was for everyone else. I wanted to get the opinion of other students/alum/ people already knowledgeable of what a PBI is. Hence the QUESTION I ASKED: Do YALL (YOU ALL) consider GSU a PBI? This is simply asking others for their opinion on the matter. I've already done my research and I know for myself. I wanted to see if others agreed with something that I already knew. And as you can tell, the opinions are differing for everyone.
Yes, student demographics are around 40% black (depending on which website you look it's a few percentage points above or below), and there's a document from 2016 that says that about 60% of students are low-income, so those two things combined with the large student body make it a PBI under the law.
It’s one of the top ten most populated schools in the nation. I googled “PBI” and it returned Product Backlog Item, which doesn’t have anything to do with this topic, which means you should’ve explained what that acronym stands for, to which point I still have no idea what it means. The school is unofficially considered a HBCU for what it’s worth.
I don’t think it should be considered an HBCU, especially since historically it was segregated and denied admission to black students even after federally mandated. It may be considered a Predominantly Black Institution (PBI) by some but it is less than 50% black.
PBI is Primarily Black Institution and HBCU is Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
HBCUs were created and founded during a time where Black people were ostracized, harassed, threatened, and or rejected from local schools for being Black (mostly rejected). HBCUs were founded to advance the higher education of Black people in America.
I think it was like 60 years ago, Emory Uni was still rejecting Black people for being Black. They accepted their first Black student in 1963. My grandma is older than that. My father (a Black man) was born 1967. It was truly, truly, not that long ago.
You can never take the HBCU out of an HBCU. But a PBI can happen one year and be gone the next.
There are also other similar acronyms.
- PWI: Primarily White Institution
- HSI: Hispanic Serving Institutions (WE HAVE ONE HERE IN GA SO PROUD OF DALTON STATE)
ETA: changed 65 to 60

so a HBCU is a historically black college or University which mean it was open most likely when black peoples couldn’t attend bigger universities. A PBI is just a statistic, statistically the institution has predominantly more black people.

GSU is really interesting demographically have not seen many other institutions where as many groups are represented in decent margins.
I have no clue what this is
Predominantly Black Institution
Thank you. TC, take notes!

There was no context and your post only sows confusion. Edit: To prove my point! Link: https://www.acronymfinder.com/Slang/PBI.html
Edit: I don't care.

Had my question been “Is GSU a PBI?” then your comment would definitely be appropriate. But in this instance, it is not.
Officially, it is. This is a federal designation and it brings GSU a lot of grant money.
Yes, student demographics are around 40% black (depending on which website you look it's a few percentage points above or below), and there's a document from 2016 that says that about 60% of students are low-income, so those two things combined with the large student body make it a PBI under the law.
Yes. Major determines what your classes look like.

This post was meant for people who know what a PBI is. If you don’t then you have nothing to contribute. Bye bye
Can be an opportunity to educate?
That would be fine if this user asked in a better manner.
Very true
Hopefully I’m kinder lol, but may you tell me what it stands for please? Nvm, I have seen it now, but thank you :)
No problem :)!!!
On a public forum where anyone can post.
No 💀

generally curious though… isn’t there a difference between a PBI and a HBCU? I’m a non black-poc but I’m curious not trying to be rude for real lol
