PV grads....when did the degrees stop spelling out "Agricultural and Mechanical"?

I'm Class of 2001 and my degree has the "A&M". I noticed that older Panthers have degrees with the complete name of the University.

I was just curious...when did it go to just "A&M"???

Methinks it was somewhere around that Becton/Hines mistake-transition. :) A lot changed on the degrees during that timeframe.
 
Prairie View is a great HBCU...I'm so proud to hear this! Keep up the outstanding work, PV! :bowdown:
 
Also, congratulations on 130 years of a "Legacy of Greatness"!

MEN?S CROSS COUNTRY AND MEN?S TENNIS

ACHIEVE PERFECT APR SCORES



PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas ? According to the NCAA in a recent release, the Prairie View A&M University men?s cross country and men?s tennis teams received accolades for achieving a perfect score on the Academic Progress Report (APR) for the 2003-04 and 2004-05 school year.

The APR, which was implemented by the NCAA during the 2003-04 school year, determines whether the team is subject to scholarship reductions because of its student-athletes' academic performance in the classroom. Each semester, the APR is computed and scholarship athletes can earn two points for maintaining their academic eligibility and re-enrolling in school the next semester. An APR of 1,000 is perfect but any score below 925 subjects a team to possible scholarship reductions.

Both squads were among 453 men?s and 595 women?s teams across the country to earn a perfect APR score. In addition, both teams represented two of the three men?s teams in the Southwestern Athletic Conference to make the list. In addition, the men?s tennis team captured the conference title last spring while the men?s cross country team won the SWAC championship in the fall of 2005.

?We?re pleased with the APR rate of those two teams,? said Prairie View athletic director Charles McClelland. ?Our ultimate goal is to have all of our teams at that level and we?re going to work diligently to achieve those goals.?
 
Well that is great news to hear in light of them losing 8 athletic academic scholarship recently. :tup: :tup: :tup:

That is interesting because they went to even smaller ones in '95.
