Very, very, very impressive!:tup:

I have a good friend who got her Bachelor's at UAPB, but got her Master's AND Ph.D. at AAMU; I know both degrees are in the STEM branch and I want to say they're both in physics (not for sure). She still lives in Alabama and makes every UAPB/AAMU game and is very, very, very successful!

My youngest plans to go to school in Texas, but she is looking very closely at AAMU because of their STEM program.
 
I will be honest with you, our Physics department is one of the best in the nation. No school in the state of Alabama can touch them. We were the only accredited Physics department in the state of Alabama up until the 2000's.

No argument from me. That is why she (my friend) chose AAMU because of their physics curriculum. Turns out she does has her Master's & Ph.D. in physics.
