01. Overview

What the school is known for:

Morgan State University places strong emphasis on the arts and sciences at the undergraduate level and on the preparation of students for advanced study, with nearly 140 academic programs for graduate and undergraduate students. This urban campus offers a diverse array of programs in professional fields—everything from engineering to social work. Along with degree programs, MSU offers five postbaccalaureate certifications, including Museum Studies and Historical Preservation, Sustainable Urban Communities, and Psychometrics. Historically, the university has ranked among the top public campuses nationally in the number of Black graduates receiving doctorates.

The university’s new $171 million Health and Human Services Building, scheduled to open in 2024, is a clear investment in the future. Graduates of the School of Community Health and Policy will be even more exceptionally positioned to fill the high demand for public servants, innovators, and skilled leaders in healthcare and human services. Academics at MSU are enhanced through ten university centers and their unique missions to develop scholarship, research, community advocacy, and leadership skills.
