Morgan State University originated in 1867 as the
Centenary Biblical Institute under the auspices of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Classes for the Institute
were held first at the Sharp Street Methodist Episcopal
Church in Baltimore. In 1890, the Insutute was
renamed Morgan College in honor of Dr. Lyttleton
F. Morgan, whose support enabled the school to offer
academic work at the college level. The College re-
mained under church jurisdiction until purchased by
the State in 1939. In 1975, Morgan State College was
granted university status (Chapter 550,Actsofl975).
A public university, Morgan includes the College of
Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Business and
Management, Education and Urban Studies, Engi
neering, and Graduate Studies. The undergraduate
program is built upon the liberal arts. Baccalaureate
degrees are conferred in many disciplines, including
preprotessional programs. The University's School of
Graduate Studies first offered advanced degrees in
education in 1964. Since then, the scope of graduate
studies has broadened to include a wide range of
degrees in the arts and sciences, and professional fields.
With thirty departments, the University offers
34 baccalaureate- and 19 master-degree programs,
as well as doctoral programs in Urban Educational
Leadership, Engineering, and History. All academic
programs are approved by the faculty.
The University is governed by an independent
Board of Regents. The Board's thirteen members
are appointed by the Governor with Senate advice
and consent. Twelve serve six-year terms. A student
member serves a one-year term (Code Education
Article, sees. 14-101 through 14-107).
