Advice........ Posted on 11-03-2005
Amourme.

Clark Atlanta and Howard both have great Business programs, but I'm still unsure. Here's the deal.... I plan on moving to Atlanta regardless, even if I go to school somewhere else, so I was thinking CAU would be better, plus I could make contacts, but doesn't HU have a better rep? They're both 2nd tier.

Welcome... You will get more responses if you post this in the HBCU Education...thread. That aside: What is your end objective? Are you "in" at both? Is money an issue? Where your path leads...is HU or CU more respected? Good luck! p.s. that ink is **** mom's eyes...smile

Lol, sorry about the bright font. I'm going to major in Finance and then go on to law school after grad school. Yes, money is an issue, but I have no problem getting a loan. I know that CAU is very high and stingy with financial help, but it's still in the city where I plan on spending the rest of my life. I'm just not sure which one of the two would be the better choice.

Strategy: Big fish in a "small pond"...CU. Small fish in a "big pond"...HU. You can make a splash either way... Your call :grin:

I was thinking about EMORY for Law school, but for under grad I want to be at a HBCU.

no question....go to Howard. And i'm not just saying that becuz i go to HU (ok..maybe i am). HU's School of Business' rankings are very good for getting African Americans into grad and MBA programs as far as HBCUs are concerned. Not only that, but all students in the School of Business join "teams" their freshman year. Each business team is sponsored by a major business/corporation, and the team does a presentation for their sponsoring company. The companies provide gifts, presents, and sometimes even scholorships to the students. This opens the doorway to great networking abilities and connections. Not to mention our job/business fair that attract fortune 500 companies from all over, that come specifically to recruit African American students. So trust hun, regardless of if u plan on living in the ATL or not, if u network and stay on your grind, u will be straight no matter where u end up living.

Are those teams just for freshmen? I'm going to be a transfer student.
