Morgan State University originated in 1867 as
the Centenary Biblical Institute under the auspices
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1890, the
Institute was renamed Morgan College in honor of
Dr. Lyttleton Morgan, whose support 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 university status
(Chapter 550, Acts of 1975).

A public university, Morgan now includes the
Schools of Business and Management, Education
and Urban Studies, Engineering, Graduate Studies,
and a College of Arts and Sciences. The University
offers a comprehensive undergraduate program
built upon basic degree offerings in the liberal arts.
Baccalaureate degrees are offered in many disci-
plines, including preprofessional programs. The
University's School of Graduate Studies first of-
fered advanced degrees in education in 1964. Since
then, the scope of the graduate studies program has
broadened to include a wide range of degrees in the
arts and sciences as well as in professional fields.

Encompassing thirty departments, the Univer-
sity offers forty-four baccalaureate and twenty-
eight master's degree programs, as well as a doctoral
program in Urban Educational Leadership. All ac-
ademic programs are approved by the faculty, which
consists of 54 full professors, 56 associate profes-
sors, 66 assistant professors, and 31 instructors.
During the fall of the 1986-87 academic year, 3,725
students were enrolled at Morgan. Of these, 2,776
were full-time students and 949 were part-time
students.

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 members serve six-year terms.
The student member serves a one-year term (Code
Education Article, secs. 14-101 through 14-107).
