I have to say that my vote goes to the NC. Shout out to my brother and his bruhs at LIVNGSTONE COLLEGE. The Lambda Psi chapter of Omege Psi Phi
Ima have to go wit GA on this one. We are talkin bout tha best State for HBCUs, as in schools not tournaments. GA has tha best HBCUs (Spelman, Moorehouse). I mean ****even ppl in Canada kno bout those HBCUs how many of yall can say tha same thing bout urs? NC has HBCU every 70 miles well GA has 4 HBCUs within 15 min walkin distance, beat that.
Yes, North Carolina has the quality to back up the quantity.
-North Carolina A&T is world reknowned for its engineering program. There aren't but so many schools to begin with that can boast producing an astronaut, let alone an HBCU (not to mention terrorists that have changed the world as well... :? ). Our engineering program is more rigorous than most white schools. In my discipline (Industrial and Systems Engineering) the students at N.C.State, another top engineering school in the world, don't have to take half of hard **** courses that we've gotta take (Thermodynamics, Statics, Strength or Materials, etc.). When it comes down to it, if you ask anyone who is in the know, when you think of HBCUs and engineering, you think North Carolina A&T State University. Debate it if you wish, we have a legacy of producing the best.
-North Carolina Central University is reported as the best Law School for women in general, not just black women. It also has the excellent Poli-Sci program to boot. How many of you have had MSNBC broadcast live from your campus? In addition, NCCU has a top of the line nursing program. Being that it in close proximity to Duke University Hospital and UNC Chapel Hill University Hospital, her nurses not only get training, but get jobs at two of the best hospitals in the world.
-Johnson C. Smith and Winston Salem State University also have some of the best Business and Education programs in the nation (as well as NCCU) not only in academics, but in placement. (I can't say too much else about them because I don't know much else and I don't feel like doing the research)
Not to mention the CIAA tourney... 8)
well I guess that settles it
it doesnt settle nothing.....damn i dont have time to research since I dont have my lappy yet and gotta study for a couple of hours....but damnit when i do have time and if this topic is still up then damnit i will prove GA is the better state....damn you all and your computers *hhmph*
Do we have to bring up the prestige factor... Morehouse alone has produced the likes of Mays, King, and Maynard Jackson.... Then you have Spellman, then Clark Atlanta U....

NCCU also produced Maynard Jackson (law school) and Bishop Eddie T. Long, the leader of one of the largest congregations in ATL (we running things in ATL, too). NCCU also produced a William R. (Bill) McNeal, the 2004 National Superintendent of the Year, Norman Anderson, CEO of the American Psychological Association, the current governor of North Carolina, Michael Easley (law school), the most successful black lawyer, Willie Gary (law school), Ernie Barnes, the person who painted the pictures featured on Good Times, and Floyd McKissick, former National Executive Director of CORE.
And I haven't even gotten to the alumni of A & T, Shaw, St. Augustine, FSU and WSSU.
Pick something else to argue your point on, so far, the NC schools have repped. . . and we actually seem to know something about the history of HBCU's in North Carolina. Speaking of history, the HBCU movement in the South STARTED in North Carolina (Shaw University). Respect your roots.

^^^ I thought Cheyney or Lincoln University's in Pennsylvania were one of the first HBCU's established, if not them, then Wilberforce.
