Welcome to Morgan State

Welcome, Morgan parents! The first year of college and beyond will be a period of transition for both you and your family — emotionally, socially, and financially.

The support received from parents and family members plays an important role in a student’s overall success. At Morgan State University, we believe that college represents a partnership between the student, the family, and the University. For 155 years, Morgan State University has been an important player in the higher education system in Baltimore City, the State of Maryland, and the nation. Morgan State University has been listed by U.S. News & World Report as “one of students’ most popular universities” and named by Forbes magazine among “America’s Best Colleges and Universities.” Additionally, Morgan has been identified as “one of the 25 Best Universities for African Americans, Hispanics, and Women” by the Black EOE Journal, Hispanic Network Magazine, and Professional Women’s Magazine. In 2017, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Morgan State University a “National Treasure.” Morgan is the only university in the country to have its entire campus earn the designation. Throughout its history, Morgan has served the community with distinction while meeting the educational needs of an increasingly diverse society. As a Carnegieclassified R2 High Research Institution and designated as Maryland’s Preeminent Public Urban Research University, Morgan will continue to play a prominent role in Maryland’s education future.
