In 1837, before slavery was abolished, the nation's first black college was founded by Richard Humphreys, a Quaker, who opened the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia as a teacher training college. However, most historically black colleges and universities were founded after the Civil War. North Carolina has eleven historically black colleges and universities, including the oldest in the South, Raleigh's Shaw University, founded in 1865, and North Carolina's newest HBCU, Durham's North Carolina Central University, founded in 1910 and today one of the sixteen senior institutions in the University of North Carolina system.\n\n---\nthe first Black college football game took place in North Carolina in 1892

Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, is generally considered to be the oldest university in the world.* It was founded roughly the same time as the city of Cairo, in 969 AD. The first lecture was delivered in 975 AD. \nLike many centers of learning, Al-Azhar University was originally intended as a place of worship and religious instruction. The mosque at Al-Azhar is one of the most famous in the Muslim world, and is still considered the seat of Sunni Islamic study. \n\nThe university pioneered systems of advanced academic instruction with its hierarchy of regular instructors and visiting professors. Its history follows the turbulent rise of the Islamic Empire, replete with political revolutions and competing religious philosophies. While Al-Azhar University has a storied history of religious instruction, it also boasts a robust secular curriculum, offering advanced degrees in engineering and medicine. \n\nAs with all matters medieval, historical facts and figures are up to academic interpretation. Qarawiyyin Mosque in Fez, Morroco, has also laid claim to the title of oldest university in the world. \n\nEurope's oldest university was founded in 1088 in the northern Italian city of Bologna. The United States's oldest university, Harvard, opened in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1636, not long after the first English colonists arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. \n\n\n\n*Nalanda University and Takshashila University, both ancient schools located in India, predate Al-Azhar University.

I started school when I was 4. I stayed in school until I was 39. I went back when I was 42. I take a class or two every semester. I LOVE school. I am 51 now and educated way beyond my intelligence. It is amazing what I know and what I don't know. I have 5 degrees. Can you imagine?

I live in North Carolina, so my opinion would just be to look up the school's website. I live maybe 2.5 hours away from the school and I don't remember the website, but it should not be hard to find it, but once you do, that should be of some help to you.

Totally, completely, 100% incorrect information!  Where do you get this nonsense from?\n\nThe oldest observatory in the world was excavated in north China's Shanxi province, and is believed to be 4,100 years old, predating the formerly oldest known observatory from South America.\n\nWhat is well known is that the Arab world gave us our current number system, and the concept of zero.
