Founded by Booker T. Washington in 1881. Strong engineering and veterinary medicine programs — one of few HBCUs with an ABET-accredited engineering school and the only HBCU with a veterinary school. 61% Pell-eligible. Net price is relatively flat across income brackets, suggesting limited need-based grant aid differentials. For simulation: distinctive STEM pipeline HBCU with moderate selectivity.
