About

Established in 1867, Howard University provides 140 undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees. The National Science Foundation has ranked Howard as the top producer of African-American undergraduates who later earn science and engineering doctoral degrees. The university operates with the motto “Veritas et Utilitas,” meaning “Truth and Service.” 

Howard University has given more than 130,000 degrees in the arts, sciences, and humanities. The historic main campus is located on a hilltop in Northwest Washington, just blocks away from U Street and the Howard Theatre. It offers Medical Physics (M.S.), Undergraduate Programs, Graduate Programs, Doctorate Programs, and Professional Programs.
