A History of producing some of the most formidable and successfull African Americans

Prestigious historically black college/university

Our school is best known for producing successful business people. Our business school is nationally ranked with top companies as corporate sponsors. The business program is very intense and the students there receive wonderful oppurtunities. Some students on campus often refer to the business school as a cult because the students wear suits every Tuesday and Thursday and many wear them more often than that. Anytime a business student introduces themselves they all plug their information into a short outline given to them at orientation. I personally feel that these practices prepare them for the real world and insure success.

Howard University is best known for its legacy. I believe that the best and brightest students attend my school. Howard alumni (Phylicia Rashad, Ossie Davis, Thurgood Marshall, etc.) have achieved noteworthy success. In addition, five of the divine nine sororities and fraternities were established on Howard's campus (Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Omega Psi Phi, etc). Howard is also home to the Moorland Spingarn Research Center which is one of the world's largest repositories for the documentation of the history of people of African descent. We are the future leaders of America and we make history.

Howard is best known for its homecoming, fraternities and sororities, activities, parties, business school, medical program, law program and being the most diverse HBCU.

a black education

Some people still call it "the Black Harvard," but frankly, I think its an insult to our race to say that. Now that we can get in anywhere, it no longer attracts the best students and faculty. Fewer top students are coming and they're having a hard time holding on to new faculty (most of the best are near retirement age). The administration is run by crooks, thus driving away the good students and faculty. In 10 or 15 years, it won't be much better than the average community college. Go elsewhere if you can.
