Suggestions for HBCUs with a focus on Marketing?

I'm on the lookout for HBCUs that offer solid marketing programs. I'm interested in schools that not just teach, but also provide real-world marketing experiences. Any leads?

Hello! It's fantastic that you're looking into HBCUs; they offer vibrant communities and valuable educational experiences. For marketing programs, Howard University's School of Business has an excellent reputation, including their Marketing program which takes advantage of its location in the nation's capital by partnering with corporations for internships and experiential learning opportunities.

Moreover, Hampton University's business school also gets praise for its strong academic programs and connection to the business world. And don't overlook smaller institutions like Florida A&M University, which has a solid College of Business & Industry with internship partnerships in various industries.

Remember, an essential part of getting that 'real-world experience' comes from internships, competitions, and networking events, so when considering schools, also look at their career services and external partnerships. Be sure to check out each institution's alumni network, too, since that can be a substantial asset for finding internships and post-grad employment. Visiting campuses, if possible, and talking with current students and faculty, whether in person or via email, can also give you a better sense of the practical opportunities each program offers.

Best of luck with your search!
