Morgan State University originated in 1867 as
the Centenary Biblical Institute under the auspic-
es of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1890,
the Institute was renamed Morgan College in
honor of Dr. Lyttleton Morgan, whose funding
enabled the school to offer academic work at the
college level. The College remained under church
jurisdiction until purchased by the State in 1939.
In 1975, Morgan State College was granted uni-
versity status (Chapter 550, Acts of 1975). A pub-
lic university, Morgan now includes the Schools
of Business and Management, Education and Ur-
ban Studies, Engineering, Graduate Studies, and a
College of Arts and Sciences.
The University offers a comprehensive under-
graduate program built upon basic degree offer-
ings in the liberal arts. Baccalaureate degrees are
offered in many disciplines, including pre-profes-
sional programs. The University's School of Grad-
uate Studies provides graduate education in a va-
riety of professions. It first offered advanced
degrees in education in 1964. Since then, the
scope of the graduate studies program has broad-
ened considerably to include a wide range of de-
gree options in the arts and sciences as well as in
professional fields.
Encompassing thirty departments, the Universi-
ty offers forty-four baccalaureate and twenty-eight
master's degree programs, and one doctoral pro-
gram (in Urban Educational Leadership). All aca-
demic programs are approved by the faculty,
