WELCOME TO HOWARD UNIVERSITY!!!! This Question and Answer thread was developed to answer ANY and EVERY inquiry from those who have officially selected Howard University as their place for academic growth! And for those who are still undecided about where you will be in the fall, hopefully this thread will help you lean towards furthering your education at HU If you have any questions pertaining to Howard University, registration, athletics, Greek life, campus life, Homecoming, Washington, DC, clubs, shopping malls, classes, majors, minors, roomates, etc. DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS! Although Howard alumni and students are not experts in all areas of college life, we will try our best to answer your questions directly and in a timely manner. There are many current Bison and HU alums who post on this board.If you have a question that you are not comfortable posting in the open forum, utilize the PM (private messaging). Us Howardites are very friendly and responsive! Also, feel free to post your Myspace, Facebook, YIM, AIM or any other method of contact (if your feel comfortable doing so) in an effort to network, meet and greet others who are or will be associated with Howard University. I only make this thread ONCE a year so BE SURE TO ASK QUESTIONS! WELCOME TO THE BISON FAMILY CLASS OF 2012!

Hello, Im actually a senior in high school now but intend on attending in fall 2010. Im interested in the School of Business ( marketing ) but am also interested in PR. I was told that I cat really major in marketing and minor in PR. I can only take classes in the school of communications for their PR classes, but must maintain my gpa for both schools. Would you recommend that I have a major and minor? Im really shaky on what I should do because I like business and writing (PR). And i was also told that my schedule would be really hectic and stressful. Should I just major in Marketing and worry about PR later? Give me some advice please

I just recently applied to Howard University Undergrad. When I use to log into the Database I was able to view my application etc. Now recently When I log it it brings up the tabs as If I have never applied. What does this mean? Does it mean they are reviewing my application? Or Do they have it? Cause if my mother recives a bill that she has been charged and my app is not even being reviewed it will not be a pretty picture. Should I be worried?

If you were able to view it once before and it is no longer available, there just may be a computer malfunction. Also double check with the Admissions Office to make sure all of your application materials were received.

Most applicants who applied between Oct and early Nov will usually hear something soon. Howard typically sends acceptance letters out around the first and second week of December.
