Xavier University of Louisiana has attracted national attention for its successes in educating African-American students. It has ranked first nationally in the number of African-American students earning undergraduate degrees in biology, physics, physical sciences and in placing African-American students in medical schools. The key elements of this success and their universality,in particular for physics majors, are presented and analyzed. The presenter will discuss how course reform combined with the development of cooperative, active learning and strong mentoring has led to successful achievements. This presentation will also underline how the PhysTEC program will capitalize on these successes to better the preparation of physics and science pre-service teachers and to increase the number of students embracing a teaching career.
