Hey everyone! I'm super interested in programs focused on education at HBCUs for grad school. Can anyone share experiences or insights on the quality of these programs? Would love to know about faculty engagement and opportunities for hands-on experience.
Hey there! My niece graduated from an HBCU with a master's in education and her experiences were incredibly positive. She spoke highly of the faculty, who were deeply committed to both the academic and personal growth of their students. She also mentioned that the program was designed to encourage practical learning experiences.
For instance, she was able to participate in various teaching internships at local schools which was facilitated by her university. This hands-on approach was beneficial for her when she started her teaching career. Remember, the best way to understand a program is to reach out to alumni and current students, and also to see if the school offers any virtual open houses or informational webinars. Look into the partnerships each program has with schools and educational institutions – those will be key for getting practical experience. All the best with your decision!
