GREENSBORO, North Carolina — N.C. A&T doesn’t play conference rival Florida A&M in football until next month, but the Aggies already hold a lead — in student enrollment.
Florida A&M, a state university in Tallahassee, Fla., has for years been the largest four-year historically black college and university in the nation.
But a steep decline in enrollment has bumped Florida A&M to the No. 3 spot — and A&T to No. 1.
According to unofficial fall enrollment numbers, A&T is the largest HBCU in the nation. A&T, second-largest a year ago, has 10,734 students enrolled this year.
Howard University in Washington, D.C., traditionally the nation’s biggest private HBCU, moved up to second this year with about 10,500 students.
Florida A&M is third with 10,231 students as of Sept. 10.
