Discover HT California –
The Closest HBCU to the Golden State

Huston-Tillotson University is the Historical Black College and University (HBCU) located in the heart of Austin, TX. As the closest HBCU to California, it offers a unique educational experience for students seeking a diverse and inclusive learning environment. With a rich history and commitment to academic excellence, HT is a premier destination for those pursuing their educational goals.

HT & California

Over the past ten years, numerous California residents have enrolled on our Austin, Texas campus and through dual credit and online programs. Through broader conversations and the desires of various educational entities in California, we have entered collaborative agreements to establish a “boots on the ground” experience for those who wish to enroll and be involved in the culture and climate of the HBCU experience. 

Our efforts to provide an Off-Site presence in California include beginning to offer coursework towards degrees offered by the University starting January 2025. We will begin by providing curriculum and co-curriculum experiences to students who enroll at the Off-site campus as part of their Liberal Studies Requirements. As we work through the requirements of our accrediting agencies and California state regulations, we plan to have approval for a branch campus in California by August 2025.
