Coppin State University in Baltimore announced in 2023 that it would begin offering in-state tuition to any student who lived in one of the 41 U.S. states and territories without an HBCU-as well as the District of Columbia, which has two HBCUs-through a program called Expand Eagle Nation. In 2024, the first year of the program, the institution more than doubled the number of students from qualifying states to 195-up from 81 the previous fall.

"We've been anticipating this time between now and last November and we're looking forward to the new collaboration and coordination," Cal Poly Maritime Director of University Affairs Chelsea McClain said. "We will be integrating the academic year from quarter to semester. Cal Maritime was already semester and now Cal Poly will transition."
