Hello folks, I'm deep into my college research phase and I really want to study somewhere in Texas. I'm looking at HBCUs specifically, and I want to major in a STEM field. Can anyone share their experiences or knowledge about which Texas HBCUs have solid STEM programs? I'm kinda stressing because I want to make sure I choose a school with good resources and opportunities in my field of interest.
Hello there! I'm glad to hear you're taking a thoughtful approach to your college research. In Texas, one HBCU that stands out for its STEM programs is Prairie View A&M University. Known as one of the leading HBCUs in STEM, they have a variety of engineering programs which are highly regarded. Additionally, Texas Southern University offers competitive programs in areas like computer science and technology. Both schools have good relationships with companies and can offer internships and cooperative education opportunities which can be invaluable for gaining real-world experience while you study. Keep diving into each university's offerings, and consider reaching out to current students or faculty to get a personal take on the programs. Best of luck!
