Hi friends! I'm compiling a list of potential colleges and was hoping someone might have a list of all HBCUs that excel particularly in STEM areas. I'm interested in engineering and computer science and want to know where these programs are strong.
Absolutely! HBCUs are known for their strong community and academic programs, including in STEM fields. Here are a few HBCUs renowned for their STEM programs, especially in engineering and computer science:
- Howard University (Washington, DC): Known for its strong engineering programs and has a variety of engineering disciplines.
- North Carolina A&T State University (Greensboro, NC): The largest HBCU in the country and well-regarded for its College of Engineering.
- Spelman College (Atlanta, GA): While it's a women's college, it has excellent programs in the sciences and is part of the Atlanta University Center, allowing cross-registration with other institutions for a broader range of courses.
- Florida A&M University (Tallahassee, FL): Offers a strong computer science program and is a leading HBCU in research.
- Morgan State University (Baltimore, MD): Notable for its engineering programs.
These are just a handful of the HBCUs with strong STEM offerings; there are many others. Be sure to explore their individual websites and reach out to admissions or department heads for more specific info on your areas of interest!
