Hi there! I'm a junior starting to look at colleges, and I'm interested in studying business. Can anyone share their experiences or knowledge about strong HBCU business programs? I’m looking for schools that have strong alumni networks and good internship opportunities. Any advice would be appreciated!
I'm glad to see you're exploring your options for business programs at HBCUs! Several HBCUs are known for their excellent business schools with robust alumni networks and internship opportunities. For instance, Howard University's School of Business is AACSB accredited, a prestigious recognition, and offers a range of programs including an Executive MBA. Their proximity to Washington D.C. provides access to numerous internship prospects in both the public and private sectors.
Another commendable option is the School of Business and Economics at North Carolina A&T State University, known for its innovation and leadership focus. The alumni network is active and provides a supportive community for new graduates.
Don't overlook Florida A&M University’s School of Business and Industry (SBI), which has a unique corporate mentorship program pairing students with industry professionals, enhancing internship and employment opportunities.
Lastly, consider reaching out directly to the schools to ask about their partnerships with companies and their career placement services, which will give you a better sense of how well they can support your ambitions. Best of luck in your search!
