Notable

Largest public HBCU by enrollment. One of only two HBCUs that require test scores (not test-optional). Dramatically lower net price than private HBCUs due to Florida public university subsidies — lowest-income students pay ~$13K vs. $35K+ at private HBCUs. 21% acceptance rate is among the lowest for any HBCU. Famous "Marching 100" band. For simulation: public-school pricing + selective admissions make FAMU a distinctive value proposition in the HBCU tier.
