our engineering and technology schools are largely responsible for a&t enrollment growth as those curriculums are very conductive to the advancement of technology in the usa. when i graduated, "100%" of engineering and technology graduates found immediate high paying jobs. heck, i had so many offers when i graduated that i started accepting on site job interviews just so that i could fly around the country to see places i'd never been to before. as long as our university continues to have competent management on the part of our admins, i don't see a&t having any major enrollment decreases in the future... I'm HIGHLY SKEPTICAL of this: "100%" of engineering and technology graduates found immediate high paying jobs. |

Wow, didn't know it was quite that high. No wonder enrollment is growing like wildfire. Guess we have become "the place" to be for out-of-state students. And we still cant accept all that want to enroll...wish they would move cap up to 50% lol. I believe I heard that some 30k of the 40k+ applications we received last year were from out of state. |

Got a kid out here in Colorado that fell in love with A&T on an HBCU Tour in the Fall. He got gear and everything. Now his mom says he paniced when he saw what his grades had to be so he's got two years to hit the books. He wants to major in Physics. Another way is for him to transfer from a community college in Colorado. Do one semester then transfer!!! He and his mom can research the transfer requirements. There is no out of state cap on transfers. Sweet! I'll pass that along. |
