The Council of Historically Black Graduate Schools (CHBGS) seeks to:
- enhance the number and quality of graduate courses and degree programs available in HBCUS and in institutions interested in graduate education for African-American students.
- promote the research mission of member institutions by encouraging maximum involvement in scholarly initiatives and by facilitating the dissemination of knowledge concerning African-Americans.
- support the concept of multiculturalism; however, it recognizes and defends the right of graduate programs at HBCUS to compete equitably for funds to support programs and services in order to promote graduate study among African-American students.
- ensure the viable representation of historically black colleges and universities at all forums pertaining to American graduate education.
