   If you are interested in computer science, but not so much in programming, start looking into the fields available via computer engineering as another option. You can do a lot in the computer field, without actually being a programmer. You’ll need to learn some programming, of course, but it doesn’t have to be the main focus of your program.

   As for historically Black colleges that have majors like this, and are respected in the field, check out:

   - Howard U. They have a strong engineering/computer program.
   - Spelman. Also a fine program.

   Also check out the programs at:

   -Xavier U of Louisiana
   -North Carolina A&T
   -Morgan State U
   -Morehouse, if you’re male (but your avatar shows a female, so…I suggested Spelman.)

   All well respected.

   You may find a lot of good info on this subject at BlackEngineer.com.

   You may be interested in the program at U Missouri-Rolla. They have a program to actively recruit Black engineers, including scholarships. It has a high graduation rate.

   If you are African American, the Black Scholarship Guide may also be of assistance, llinked, below:
