Bethune-Cookman College, one of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and founded in 1904 by Mary McLeod Bethune, joined the ranks of HBCUs offering degrees in engineering.  Through a grant from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), Bethune-Cookman developed thirteen new courses and put the required personnel in place resulting in the granting of two bachelors degrees in computer engineering at the spring 2006 graduation.
