Ok, I have been doing the "Rate This HBCU" thread for about two months now. I pull a lot of data from a database the Department of Education has. So I got the thought of pulling in some bulk data and comparing all HBCUs and the results are pretty interesting. I am going to drop the graphs here...

We last discussed the venerable Alabama A&M which received an average score of 7.1 See the updated leaderboard here Next we head to B'More and showcase another Maryland HBCU (we last covered UMES), Coppin State University. The smaller HBCU of Baltimore (Morgan State being almost 4 times larger...

No ratings on this thread. I decided to go ahead and make it since I am going to combine 4 nominal HBCUs that I won't cover separately since they have barely any Black attendance now. However, due to their history, they are still designated as "HBCUs". They all share at least one of two common...

I am interested in hopping into IT…. Cyber security to be specific since it seems to pay more…. But I am SO LOST on what route to go….. I know I’m not interested in hardware like that. There are soooo many ways to get in….. should I get certs? A degree? If I should get certs, which ones...
