Four More For Texas!

Prairie View A & M University: This HBCU (Historically Black College/University) and R2 research university provides opportunities for STEM students. Most popular majors are Mechanical Engineering, Agricultural Business, and Nursing; Apple and engineering recruiters recruit heavily.

Trinity University: Highly-selective, small, diverse liberal arts college in cosmopolitan San Antonio: its urban location sets it apart from other LACs, but like others, Trinity has no barriers to any major and emphasizes academic flexibility. Undergraduates are sought out for fully financed research, freshmen get job offers, and an annual $25k entrepreneurship competition. After graduation, 98% of students are employed/in grad school within six months, and 90% of pre-meds are accepted into medical school. Trinity is a happy home to Trinicats 😸 (cats who live all over campus)!  https://www.trinity.edu/news/class-2027-breaks-acceptance-rate-record

Baylor University: Southern Baptist University in Waco welcomes all students. Princeton Review ranks it #5 for first year experience and #5 happiest college. Although 15,000 attend, the average class size is only 26. Required chapel attendance and Christian Heritage and Scriptures courses. Business Entrepreneurship and Science programs are highly-ranked. School spirit abounds, 1/3 students engage in Greek life, and all enjoy visiting the two live bears that live on campus: Indie and Belle. https://about.web.baylor.edu/

Southern Methodist University: Despite its name, SMU is a non-sectarian university. Nationally-ranked Cox Business School’s most selective program is Alternative Assets Management (ED applicants denied to Cox are still committed to SMU). Dual admissions are not offered for  CompSci and Engineering (the latter boasts 40% women).  PreCalc preferred for applicants, but it’s easy to switch majors (except into the business school). Required core curriculum, including a language requirement so students become world citizens. Exciting new Human Rights program:https://www.smu.edu/dedman/academics/undergraduate-minors-and-programs/interdisciplinary-studies/ehrp. Beautiful campus!
