I want to know the prerequisites for Historic Black Colleges in florida?
I am currently in a Community college in california and I would like to transfer a HBCU in florida, and i would like to know if there is a website so i can see what prerequisites i need to get done or classes i need. Unfortunatly the counselors at my current school are not helping me with any of this. Please any answers would be greatly appreciated.
