Hey guys, I'm a high school junior trying to narrow down my college list and I’ve got a strong interest in majoring in business. I really want to attend an HBCU but I'm not sure which ones are known for having strong business programs. Could anyone share their experience or knowledge about this? Bonus points for insights into internship opportunities or networking!
Exploring HBCUs for their business programs is a wonderful way to combine quality education with a rich cultural experience. Among the HBCUs, Howard University's School of Business stands out, with its accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and a variety of programs that include finance, marketing, and international business. Another notable institution is Florida A&M University's School of Business and Industry, which is well-regarded for its innovative approach to education and strong alumni network.
Both schools offer internship and networking opportunities that are crucial for business majors. For example, Howard has connections with corporate leaders through events like their annual career fair, which can be a stepping stone to internships and job offers. It would also be beneficial to look into the career services departments at each HBCU you are considering for more specific information regarding internships and networking opportunities within their business programs.
