Most people go to this school for degrees in English, business, or entry level medical related fields. I attended for a more difficult to obtain degree, engineering. With that said, the engineering programs have been outdated for years. It seems that if you do not have a major within the business or nursing program, your degree will not have prepared you for work in your prospective field of study. I studied both architectural engineering and computer sciences, moving from fairly uninteresting architecture studies toward the more fun computer science program. From the beginning it was shown that neither one of those programs would have a heavy focus on the concepts of the major until just before the final year of study. One would spend at least half of their college career on irrelevant course material, and would have left A&T with an undergraduate level of understanding that would be of little use in a graduate level program. If you want a degree that will hold some relevancy after graduating, and one which you can fully expand upon, I would highly recommend a trade school or specialty school related to the preferred major of study.

Most schools' degrees are not truly worth all of the debt they bring upon their students, and this university is too far from having degrees that are worth what it costs to get them. I left in favor of MITA (Microsoft IT Academy), and couldn't have described, even with words, just how far behind A&T was when it came to 'real world' preparation for engineering students. I spent absolutely no extra time or money on unrelated courses, and nearly all of my course work at A&T was deemed irrelevant and non-transferable toward an engineering degree there. HBCU's have long since abandoned the principle of preparing minorities for the working world, both in a costly and educationally efficient manner. They have turned into schools that operate nearly solely for profit, and the exploitation of student resources that can potentially bring in more profit (Band programs, sports programs, etc). I would simply urge anyone to consider a different school.
