霍华德大学（Howard University）是位于美国华盛顿哥伦比亚特区的一所私立大学，在美国国会的批准下于1867年3月2日建立，校名源自南北战争联邦将军奥利弗?O?霍华德。霍华德大学是一所历史悠久的黑人大学，其授予非裔美国人哲学博士学位的数量为全美第一。有86%的黑人学生。大学以心理学、政治和化学最好。其他较佳的学科，有会计、商科管理、工程、社会工作、动物学和大众传播。

大学位于美国首都华盛顿特区，华盛顿特区通常称为华府，以避免和位于太平洋岸同名的华盛顿州混淆。华府占地67英哩，坐西朝东。阿帕拉契山为背，波多马克河为水，子午主轴是以北边的白宫和南端的华盛顿纪念碑，东西向主轴为东边的国会大厦和西边的林肯纪念堂。这种格局是很严密的中国宫廷式的格局。

华府这个城市是按照美国首任总统华盛顿的理念建立的，而且是根据法国建筑工程技师殷范提设计规划的。华府市街恰似棋盘方格，区划井然有序，既没有耸入云霄的高楼大厦，也没有炫耀入目的霓虹灯，街道建筑大多平实，并以格子状辐射开来，很像中国几个著名的古都。在这个艺术文化气息浓厚的城市中，只要留心观察，就能察觉到在美国其它大教会中不易看到的中国精髓与东方神韵。
