[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same thing as Women's colleges. Vassar anyone?[/quote]Wellesley's not going anywhere, and it's rep is intact.[/quote]

Yes, but the other 6 sisters' stars have fallen and/or gone co-ed. It's not a terrible thing, it's just a sign of chaning times. Smart black students now have a wide variety of options. The question will be, how will Howard respond. Will it start marketing itself towards other races and cultures? Will it pick its strengths and then become a specialized school or will it fade into the background...[/quote]There are not that many pharmacy or physical therapy programs in the area.  Howard is one of 2 or 3 programs in the area that offers a master's program in physical therapy.  BS in PT has pretty much gone the way of the dodo bird.  Howard is not exactly on its way out but could use some remarketing.  HBOCs have historical significance regardless of the "variety of options" and the more renown will not just simply fade away.  They are part of this country's history when blacks could not attend white colleges and have just as much a place here as Harvard or Princeton.[/quote]
