To many, historically black colleges are all black. Not so. Although most black colleges have a majority of black students, not all do, and virtually all have non-black students. Approximately 17-18% of the students in black colleges are white and another 13% are foreign. Nor are faculty at the black college all black. A third or more of most black college faculty members are non-black. In fact, the historically black colleges have always been open to whites when the law allowed. Also, "historically black” is different from "predominantly black” and predominantly black is different from an institution having a "plurality” of black students. In most predominantly black colleges, more than 50 percent of the students are black. An institution may be neither historically nor predominantly black but may have a plurality of black students.

TEFL, TESOL, and TESL are largely interchangeable terms which essentially mean the same thing. Each of these terms is most commonly used in a different part of the world, but they all refer to teaching English to non-native speakers. TEFL, or Teaching English as a Foreign Language, is a popular career choice for young people for numerous reasons. The most obvious and attractive of these is that teaching English abroad enables a person to travel the world and earn a living at the same time. English is the dominant language of world communication and commerce, so there is a great demand for the citizens of non-English speaking countries to learn English and, therefore, a high demand for English teachers all around the world.

Do you ever wish you could learn by doing, or by being in a very different culture or country?

As the nation watched presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain face off in a series of debates last fall, Salisbury University alumna Kasey Wright got up close and personal.

Interning for the Commission on Presidential Debates, Wright was onsite for the events and witnessed firsthand the excitement among students.

Taking the SAT is a pinnacle event - it marks the beginning of a countdown to your high school graduation and has you thinking seriously about your college plans. Planning properly for this big event, however, is crucial to making your SAT test-taking experience a positive one.

Unfortunately, many students delay or outright avoid preparing out of dread or fear. Certainly, the stress level rises as the test date approaches. The good news is that this can be avoided! For example, the SAT can be a great help to those students whose grade point averages (GPA’s) do not reflect their true potential. Low grades can be a roadblock to college acceptance, and a great SAT score can help compensate for that. Also, many college-bound students receive financial aid from their future college and other sources based upon SAT scores.
