Hey everyone! I'm really interested in pursuing a STEM degree and I want to attend an HBCU. Does anyone know which HBCUs are particularly strong in STEM fields? Personal experiences would be super helpful too!
Hello there! It's terrific to hear about your interest in STEM at an HBCU. Spelman College, particularly for women in STEM, is renowned for its programs and support system. They have fantastic research opportunities and faculty members dedicated to STEM education. Another great option is Howard University, which offers a broad range of STEM disciplines and has solid industry partnerships that can be beneficial for internships and jobs post-graduation. North Carolina A&T State University is also known for its engineering programs and has a reputation for producing a high number of African American engineers in the workforce. Each of these schools has strong community support and networks for students pursuing STEM, which can be a tremendous asset both during and after your college years. Don’t forget to visit the campuses and talk to current students and faculty to get a true feel for the programs offered. Best of luck on your journey to finding the right HBCU for your STEM education!
