The University System of Georgia’s African-American Male Initiative
Six years ago, when University System of Georgia officials found that Black male students were outnumbered by their female counterparts nearly 2-to-1, they developed an initiative to even out the ratio. Since the program’s inception, Black male enrollment has increased 24.5 percent throughout the University System of Georgia, up from 17,068 students to 21,249 students. Additionally, the number of degrees conferred to Black males between 2003 and 2007 increased 17 percent, up 1,513 from 1,294. For more information, visit usg.edu/aami.
