Now there are a lot of HBCU's in different states. But what state has the best HBCU's overall.
North Carolina has my vote:
St. Aug
North Carolina Central
Winston Salem
Fayettville
Livingstone
Elizabeth City
A & T
Bennett
Shaw
Johnson C Smith
I know they don't wanna start counting professional schools. . .well let's add Hood Theological Seminary, and technically Shaw Divinity school bringing the total to 13.
I already stated, this isn't about numbers. I invite you to come to Raleigh in September and attend the Aggie-Eagle Classic, or February and attend the CIAA tournament. Then you compare.
BTW, I've already been to an AUC homecoming. . . .there's little comparison.
Well like I said before my vote goes to GA...alot people keep giving it to NC cause they have more HBCU's...but the way I see it, its QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. 8)
if we going by numbers then Alabama got it.
Come on now yall! Can yall honestly look at these schools and not be able to tell that GA is better.
Barber-Scotia College
Bennett College
Elizabeth City State University
Fayetteville State University
Johnson C. Smith University
Livingstone College
North Carolina A&T State University
North Carolina Central University
Saint Augustines College
Shaw University
Winston-Salem State University
People only really know about A&T and Johnson C Smith (only cuz of battle of bands).
Albany State University
Clark Atlanta University
Fort Valley State University
Interdenominational Theological Center
Morehouse College
Morehouse School of Medicine
Morris Brown College
Paine College
Savannah State University
Spelman College
I agree they both are excellent and reputable schools, but how are those 2 schools alone "better" than all 11 NC schools? Just askin...
and I know people on this site don't even get into the black HBCU elite is better thing. Many make it out to be almost a bad thing or either non-existent.
Thanks, cuz believe me those students at Duke, UNC, Wake Forest, Georgia Southern, Georgia Tech, Emory, and UGA, all think our schools are inferior. . .
Half of those student in the schools you listed went to school in the AUC. And just to remind the NC Kats there are ten HBCU's in GA not including Carver College which makes eleven since we countin n all :roll:
giving daps*
Morehouse
Spelman
CAU
Albany State
Paine
Fort Valley State
Interdenominational Theological Center
Morris Brown
Savannah State University
Shorter College
and i didnt know this but Morehouse School of Medicine is considered a seperate HBCU by law go figure since it seperated from Morehouse in 1981
not counting Carver---so now ummm that makes 12
ITC is considered to be an HBCU? Is it 4 years? And what is Shorter and Carver College, I've never heard of either of these schools? Are you sure these are HBCUs? If they are, are they 4 year schools? And since medical schools are professional schools, does that really count as an HBCU too?
NC has 11 4-year HBCUs, plain and simple.
Some medical schools are HBCUs, Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN is probably the most well-know HBCU that is a medical school. I agree with Mila, Quality over Quantity, but there are a lot of states with good quality schools, it is just that some don't get as much publicity as others because of administrative/financial problems, declining enrollment etc. Don't forget about the CC cause there are some good quality HBCUs that are community colleges, Bishop State CC in AL is an example, pretty soon it will be 4 year.
People only really know about A&T and Johnson C Smith (only cuz of battle of bands).
Your school profile depends on the region in which you live. JC Smith, NCCU, NC A&T, WSSU, and Shaw are WELL-KNOWN throughout the mid-east and north (hell we get enough students from DC, New Jersey and New York). Sheesh many students know about A & T on the west coast.
We all know why you all think your state is best, give us some reasons you think yours is the best HBCU state. The NC folk have stated their case (Aggie-Eagle, CIAA Tournament, History); the only thing you guys have talked about is academics, where if you really want to talk about quality: According to US News, we are pretty much even. Morehouse is a Tier 3 Liberal Arts College, while A & T and NCCU are tier 3 Masters Granting Colleges. Both JCSU and Shorter are Tier 1 Comprehensive Colleges, while both Livingstone and Morris Brown are Tier 4.
I hate I had to take it to statistical smack, but sheesh, can yall give us something other than:

even though I'm reppin' Tennessee(Tennessee State University, Lane, Fisk, Lemoyne Owen, Meharry Medical) I have to agree with GA on this one, not only do they have two of the best HBCU's(Spelman and Morehouse) but they have other HBCU's that are well known and that offer quality education.
I also have to go with Louisiana because they have Xavier, Dillard, Southern A&M, and Grambling.
