Best Historically Black Colleges for STEM?

I'm a high school junior interested in STEM and I'd like to explore Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Which ones are known for their strong STEM programs, especially in fields like engineering and computer science?

There are several HBCUs recognized for their exceptional STEM programs.

1. Howard University in Washington, DC, is highly reputed in STEM programs, especially in Engineering and Computer Science. It is known for producing the most black Ph.D. students in STEM fields in the nation.

2. North Carolina A&T State University has a well-regarded College of Engineering that offers programs in fields like Bioengineering, Civil Engineering, and Computer Engineering.

3. Florida A&M University (FAMU) in partnership with Florida State University provides engineering degrees, including Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering.

4. Morgan State University is one of the well-known HBCUs for its school of engineering, particularly known for its Industrial Engineering program.

5. Morehouse College, though primarily a liberal arts college, has a dual degree program in engineering with some top-tier universities.

6. Hampton University offers majors in Electrical Engineering and Marine and Environmental Science, among other STEM fields.

7. Spelman College, the highest-ranked HBCU according to U.S. News and a women's college, offers degrees in Computer and Information Sciences, as well as a dual-degree program in engineering in partnership with top-tier institutions.

8. Tuskegee University is a highly-ranked College of Engineering and offers degrees in Chemical, Electrical, and Aerospace Engineering, among others.

Please note that while undergraduate research opportunities, faculty mentorship, curriculum rigor, and successful alumni can indicate the strength of a program, the best program for you will also align with your personal and academic goals. Look beyond rankings and consider factors like class size, opportunities for internships, job placement after graduation, etc. Choosing a college based on the "fit" is crucial for future success.
