This study explored emotional sensitivity and counseling-related needs of 114 African American college students at a historically black college located in the southwestern region of the United States. Despite previous studies, the results suggested that African American college students who attended a historically black college needed similar counseling services as those who attended majority white colleges and universities. In addition, the analyses in this study suggested that new and younger African American college students may benefit from the "typical" counseling and outreach services, such as, date rape education and drug education. Further studies in this area were recommended for historically black college administrators. (Contains 3 figures.)
