A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Established in 1867, Morehouse College is the only institution in the U.S. solely dedicated to educating men of color. Morehouse's exceptional curriculum, experienced faculty, and studentcentered approach empower scholars and leaders committed to serving their communities. The College's legacy as a thought leader in social justice issues makes it vital in creating a more equitable world.
We are delighted to present the annual Fact Book for the academic year 2023-2024, a publication that plays a crucial role in keeping our Morehouse community informed and involved. This comprehensive resource offers a detailed overview of our most vital institutional data, including admission statistics, student enrollment, academic programs, completion rates, and financial information. With its availability in digital and print formats, the Fact Book ensures easy accessibility for all, fostering a sense of inclusivity and transparency within our community.
The Fact Book illustrates Morehouse's progress towards sustainable advancement. According to the 2024 rankings by U.S. News & World Report, the College moved up 24 spots to reach No. 100 among Liberal Arts Colleges nationwide, secured the 20th position in Top Performers on Social Mobility nationwide, maintained a top 5 ranking among HBCUs, and ranked as the No. 6 business program in Georgia.
As a renowned educational institution with a rich history of promoting social impact, the College is dedicated to nurturing disciplined men who will lead lives of service and leadership while upholding the history and culture of Black people. In partnership with Spelman College and the Black Economic Alliance, the Center for Black Entrepreneurship was launched to increase the pipeline of Black entrepreneurs, connect them to investment opportunities, and provide access to a robust network of business leaders and investors as mentors to navigate better the structural challenges Black entrepreneurs traditionally face when setting out to launch and sustain a business. Morehouse also received $1 million from JPMorgan Chase to support the growth of Black businesses in the metro Atlanta area and launch a cohesive regional network for organizations dedicated to serving entrepreneurs of color to build generational wealth. Additionally, the College became the new home of the Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting, co-founded by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones and focuses on increasing and retaining journalists and editors of color in the field of investigative reporting.
The College's Andrew Young Center for Global Leadership continues to honor and extend the legacy of Ambassador Andrew Young by addressing social challenges in the Atlanta community, the nation and abroad. Through the Center's Higher Education in Prisons Program, Morehouse faculty and student ambassadors offer humanities courses and college-preparatory seminars as well as host book clubs to over 180 incarcerated students at Georgia prison facilities such as the Metro Reentry in Dekalb County, Burruss Correctional in Forsyth County, and the Downtown Reentry Program in Fulton County. Additionally,
the Center is the home of Morehouse's international education program, providing over 120 global experiences for students and faculty within the last year, including experiences in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Spain, Germany, Ireland, Italy, China, Japan, and many more.
In the fall of 2023, the College had a slight increase in new student enrollment. The number of full-time, first-year students reached 680, a bit higher than the previous year's enrollment of 671. Our total registered headcount was 2,738, and the full-time equivalent (FTE) was 2,517. Our student body comprises students from 43 out of the 50 states. Georgia represents almost thirty percent of the student body, while Maryland, California, Texas, New York, and Illinois also have a significant number of enrolled students.
The online program, which started during academic year 2021-22, has provided more men access to our popular bachelor's degree program. It has helped them gain essential skills to become influential community leaders, successful professionals, and esteemed global citizens. We are incredibly proud of this success and optimistic about Morehouse's future. The online program started with 222 enrollees in its first year and has grown to 313 as of fall 2023. This increase reflects our successful recruitment efforts and the growing recognition of the quality of our programs.
Despite the increased student numbers, our commitment to maintaining a low student-to-faculty ratio of 13:1 remains unwavering. Our team of 250+ faculty includes 53 percent full-time staff and nearly 50 percent tenured faculty, ensuring each student receives the attention and support they need for a quality education.
Between July 2022 and June 2023, Morehouse awarded 398 degrees, comprising 316 Bachelor of Arts, 78 Bachelor of Science, and four (4) Bachelor of Science General Studies.
Morehouse has maintained a strong brand presence across various media platforms and surpassed our media goals for fiscal year 2024. By the end of May 2024, our media reach exceeded the goal of 83 billion, stretching to 137 billion. Additionally, our media mentions surpassed the goal of 57.5 thousand, reaching 82.4 thousand. The website, Morehouse.edu, achieved 2.6 million views against a target of 2.1 million. Our social media followers are also growing steadily, with impressive increases across all platforms.
We welcome you to delve into this publication and discover how Morehouse utilizes education to make a difference, where Black male excellence is an expectation, not an exception.

Note: 12-month enrollment reflects an unduplicated headcount from the summer, fall, and spring terms and provides a composite of the annual enrollment. Instructional activity represents the total number of credit hours all students are engaged in during the 12 months. The full-time equivalent (FTE) is a single value providing a meaningful combination of full-time and part-time students. IPEDS has two calculations for FTE, one using fall student headcounts and the other using 12-month instructional activity. Fall FTE is calculated using the IPEDS definition full-time + (part-time * 0.392857). 12-Month FTE is calculated by dividing the instructional activity by 30. 2020-21 instructional activity declined slightly, reflecting the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic..

CENTERS + INSTITUTES
Andrew Young Center for Global Leadership
The Andrew Young Center for Global Leadership (AYCGL) provides institutional, national, and international leadership in the examination and generation of solutions for global challenges, the study of social justice-based leadership, social justice activism training and the development of social change agents, and co-curricular experiences designed to prepare students for lives as global citizens and leaders. Comprised of three interdependent institutes and an academic program, the AYCGL includes the Institute for Research, Civic Engagement, and Policy, the Institute for International and Experiential Education, the Institute for Social Justice Inquiry and Praxis, and the Leadership Studies Program. The Office of International Education is housed in the AYCGL and, through study abroad and other programming, expands upon multiple efforts to implement experiential education at the college. The AYCGL is home to numerous programs, including those supporting scholarly engagement and production, academic and leadership development, social justice activism and civic engagement, and community engagement. Two scholarship programs housed in the AYCGL, the Oprah Winfrey Scholars Program and SMASH Scholars Program, support approximately 80 students and provide co-curricular leadership and service experiences designed to develop social justice focused, globally informed leaders.
Black Men’s Research Institute (BMRI)
The Black Men’s Research Institute (BMRI) aims to advance more inclusive curricular and programmatic offerings and scholarship/ creative work encompassing the humanities, humanistic social sciences, and artistic frames not always connected with understandings of Black men. BMRI provides a highly visible platform by which faculty, students, and the broader community may engage and, if necessary, counter narratives and policies that do not attend to the full breadth of experiences and perspectives reflected in an intersectional orientation to Black men’s experiences and masculinities. BMRI will focus on the intersection of culture and social justice by contextualizing Black masculinities in all their manifestations, both within and outside of the U.S. Therefore, the Institute also will provide a context for engagement of local, national, and global scholars in meaningful dialog about expanding notions of Black masculinities and Black men’s lived experiences beyond a heteronormative, patriarchal frame.
Center for Black Entrepreneurship (CBE)
The Center for Black Entrepreneurship (CBE) is a partnership of the Black Economic Alliance Foundation (BEAF), Spelman College, and Morehouse College, located on the campuses of Morehouse and Spelman. The CBE seeks to eliminate the access barriers faced by Black entrepreneurs, professional investors, and business builders by leveraging education, mentorship, access to capital, and opportunity. The CBE offers academic curriculum to students in the Atlanta University Center Consortium (AUC), which includes Clark Atlanta University, Morris Brown College, and Morehouse School of Medicine in addition to Spelman and Morehouse. The Center also supports co-curricular programming that will provide students with additional tools, training, networks, and opportunities
necessary for success. Additionally, the CBE hosts online courses and certificate programs to make its curriculum and training accessible to a broader adult audience across the globe. These offerings include stackable credits, upskilling opportunities, and co-curricular engagements for students from any school, including older and non-traditional students, as well as to non-student current and aspiring entrepreneurs.
Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (MIEC, Institute of CBE)
The Morehouse Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center (MIEC) is a global model for higher education and industry collaborations, programs that connect education with entrepreneurial leadership development, and community-focused resources and support. The mission of MIEC is to start, scale and sustain Black businesses whether it is with our students or businesses in the community. MIEC sees entrepreneurship and business ownership as a pathway of closing the racial wealth divide and a source of economic empowerment. MIEC’s mission is accomplished by providing the following programs: (1) Co-curricular programming to expose undergraduate college students to a better understanding of an entrepreneurial mindset. These initiatives include a speaker series, pitch competitions, startup workshops, internships, and innovation sprints, (2) technical assistance to existing businesses in the form of business management curriculum to aid access to capital, coaching and increase in contracts, and (3) research and consultative services to government agencies, corporations, and universities seeking to expand their under-represented small business suppliers.
INITIATIVES + PROGRAMS
Federal Trio Programs
The Federal Trio Programs are sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education and funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965. These programs assist students in overcoming class, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. Currently, there are seven programs on the Morehouse College campus serving lowincome individuals and firstgeneration college students from middle school to post baccalaureate programs. These seven programs include: (1) Upward Bound (two projects), (2) Talent Search, (3) Upward Bound Math/Science Regional Center, State Math/Science Center, Greater Orlando Math/Science, and (4) Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Program.Collectively, these programs identify promising students and (1) support them through the transition from middle school to high school as well as with the college application process (Talent Search); (2) prepare students for college-level coursework (Upward Bound); (3) increase the number of high school students from underrepresented backgrounds in obtaining degrees in math, science and engineering (Math/Science Regional, State, Greater Orlando Centers); and (4) provide undergraduate research opportunities to increase the number of students who complete Ph.D. programs in STEM (Ronald E. McNair).
HBCU STEM Undergraduate Success Research Center
The HBCU STEM Undergraduate Success (STEM US) Research Center, funded by the National Science Foundation, seeks to understand and disseminate information on student success in STEM from the HBCU perspective. The three areas of research are: (1) Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs), (2) Intersectionality, Scientific Literacy, Intersectionality, Project Knowledge Academic Mentoring, and (3) Academic Pipeline Project/THRIVE. Additionally, the HBCU STEM Undergraduate Success Research Center seeks to provide research experiences to undergraduate, postbaccalaureate, and graduate students. These experiences are meant to allow students the opportunity to become familiar with the research process while supporting students as they pursue their academic and research goals.
International Comparative Labor Studies (ICLS)
International Comparative Labor Studies (ICLS) is a social science and humanities interdisciplinary initiative to educate for sustainable careers contributing leadership, research, and organizing for students with social justice ideals. ICLS helps students develop a 21st century
vision for sustainable meaningful work lives for African American and all workers through study of worker organizing and community development in the South and comparison of strategies globally. In the spirit of Djehuti – Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) God of science and shared knowledge of producing – ICLS seeks to close the gap between physical and mental labor by balancing experiential learning with theoretical knowledge. ICLS is comprised of two major programs, the 1) certificate program, and 2) the Research Fellows Program. ICLS provides a unique program of direct education and research services to unions and other public interest organizations. The ICLS Research Fellows Program will include scholar activists who possess the professional acumen and interest to develop, critique, and defend political economy propositions.
Morehouse Center for Excellence in Education (MCEE)
The Morehouse Center for Excellence in Education (MCEE) aims to develop a talented pipeline of world-class practitioners, innovators, policymakers, leaders, and researchers who are equipped to transform and improve educational outcomes in urban and underserved communities. MCEE has an unrelenting focus on social justice, educational excellence, equity, and ethical leadership. These core values are embedded in all aspects of the student experience and the work of the Center. Woven into all courses and activities are the Morehouse College standards of excellence that promote acuity, agency, integrity, and brotherhood. The Center’s initiatives are designed to be responsive to the ever-changing P-16 education landscape. The college’s Education Department and Teacher Education Program are connected to the Center and support students pursuing degrees in Early Childhood Education and Educational Studies, as well as those seeking certification in Secondary Education.
Morehouse College Makerspace Exploration Center
The Morehouse College MakerSpace Exploration Center promotes student learning through making, an iterative, hands-on experiential activity that teaches students to apply skills, build models, identify problems, revise ideas, and share new knowledge with others. Defined as a cooperative experience where students can make things, conduct research, and collaborate, the innovation of making encourages creativity, artistic expression, and innovation through the use of technology. The MakerSpace facilitates both formal and informal learning, offering a space in which students conduct original experimentation, engage in positive risk-taking activities, and benefit overall from cross-disciplinary interactions and technically advanced learning. The MakerSpace Exploration Center facilitates the “handson” use of new technologies like 3D printing and laser ablation (cutting), as well as the use of classic techniques in paper, metal, and wood fabrication.
Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection Programs
The Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection represents an unparalleled gathering of primary documents from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s early years at the college through his later life as a global leader for civil and human rights. As a treasured intellectual
resource, the Collection provides programmatic opportunities for faculty and students through teaching, research, and scholarship, and other co-curricular initiatives that promote Dr. King’s nonviolent teachings and philosophy. The Office of the Morehouse College King Collection has oversight for these programs.
