Howard University School of Divinity remains one of the oldest fully accredited theological institutions in the United States. 50 Years: The Howard University School of Business The Howard University School of Business hosted a 50th Anniversary Celebration and Alumni Reception on September 18, 2020 at Moody’s Corporation’s headquarters in New York City.
