Depends on whether or not you distinguish yourself at Howard and what you later do with that degree. Top students from Howard appear to be a fairly confident lot, so they follow their ambitions with no trepidation. I’d guess that good grades from Howard would get an alumnus admitted into any well-regarded graduate journalism department.

In the final analysis, it’s all a crap shoot based upon your aspirations and your drive. Oprah Winfrey is a proud alumnae of Tennessee State University, an HBCU, and she didn’t seem to have a problem landing a TV News job in a top market (Baltimore). I heard she left the “dog bites man,” cat trapped in a tree, and “it’s snowing today in International Falls, Minn.” TV beat. I Wonder what ever happened to her?
