Easy...ivy league.
Quality of education and resources wise...it's not comparable.
Just check the endowments
A more fair comparison would be HBCUs and Jesuit schools

HBCU easily....
For undergrad I would not anywhere but an HBCU. Black folks talk about PWI alumni bases as if those good ol boy circles are going to let you tap into that 
. Advance Degrees though go to the best program you can get into/afford/have someone else pay for.

Howard University, Morehouse College and Spelman College are elite black institutions. The other hbcus not so much.
There'd be alot of deliberation if I had to decide between those and an ivy. An ivy pretty much writes your ticket to a high paying job. At Howard or Morehouse, you have access to the same jobs (investment banking for example) but, you have to work harder to get them.

Great question if you think about it
On the one hand the Ivy League has the "implied" better education by name (Yale and Harvard ring higher in name than Howard or Spellman to most employers)
on the other hand an HBCU (more than likely) provides opportunities to connect and network easier for the average Black student and may pay off more when it comes to actually living and working in the real world

A lot Ivy League kids nowadays are dropping out and joining start ups being that going to an Ivy you are not really "learning" much its more so just networking and having access to top tier research.
IMO HBCU to Ivy for grad school is best route, thats my opinion though. And I will say Howard, Spelhouse, NC A&T, and FAMU are probably the only HBCUs I would send my kids assuming they are cut out for college.

yea them too, their Business School is legit.
IMO it would be best if we consolidated the HBCUs we do have to about 5 universities, thus all of the resources could be used to competing but people are too caught up in not losing the individual history of each school, not realizing when you go to HBCUs nowadays majority of the Staff for the degrees worth a damn are not even being taught by blacks.

I wish I had gone to an HBCU but I hope to teach at one through a fellowship of some kind.
