St. Phillip's College
Based in San Antonio, the public community college was founded in 1898 and started as an industrial school for girls offering a weekend sewing class. Today, a diverse student body of more than 21,00 attend the community college, which prides itself as being the only school with federal designation as both an HBCU and Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI).
