Study: College Lifts IQs of Blacks; Gains Are Greater Than For Whites St. Louis Post-Dispatch, September 30, 1997, News; Pg. 01A Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Pulitzer Inc.

This article reports on a new study on the educational gains of African Americans. Using NLSY data, the study finds that African-Americans who graduate from college make much greater gains in intelligence during their college careers than white students. This cuts against the findings of "The Bell Curve," a study which utilized the same NLSY data, but contended that blacks were genetically less intelligent than whites and that this gap could not be closed by education. |
