Morgan State College was organized in 1867
under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal
Church as the Centenary Biblical Institute. In
1890 the school's name was changed to Morgan
College in honor of Dr. Lyttleton Morgan, whose
gift of a large sum of money enabled the school
to offer academic work at the college level. The
school remained under church jurisdiction until
the State of Maryland purchased it in 1939,
By Chapter 550, Acts of 1975, Morgan State
was granted university status. A public university,
Morgan now includes the Schools of Business
and Management, Urban Studies and Human De-
velopment, Education, Graduate Studies, and a
College of Arts and Sciences.
The University is governed by a Board of
Trustees consisting of twelve members appointed
by the Governor for six-year terms. By Chapter
538, Acts of 1976, a student in good standing at
the University is appointed a member of the
Board for a one-year term.
The University is fully accredited by the Mid-
dle States Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools and the State Department of Education.
It is also approved by the Regents of the Univer-
sity of the State of New York, the American
Chemical Society, the American Medical Associa-
tion, and the Maryland State Board of Public Ac-
countancy.
The University, which consists of twenty-two
departments, offers twenty-eight baccalaureate

ty, which approves of all academic programs,
consists of sixty-seven full professors, sixty-eight
associate professors, eighty-seven assistant
professors, and fifty-three instructors.
During the academic year 1977-1978, 6,091
students were enrolled at Morgan. Of these, 4,487
were full-time students and 1,604 were part-time
students (Code Education Article, sees. 13-201
