Leading in Education THE SCHOOL OF COMMUNITY HEALTH & POLICY
Community-based learning experiences are central to the Bachelor of Science programs offered within the School of Community Health & Policy at Morgan State University. Here you can earn your bachelor’s degree in one of two
distinct programs of study: nursing and nutritional
science. Both programs address urban health and
health disparity issues through practice-based health instruction, research, and service projects. Plus,
you’ll benefit from state-of-the-art facilities like our fully equipped nursing simulation lab and
our commercial kitchen, where nutritional science
students apply scientific methods to solve problems in food experimentation and safety.
At the School of Community Health & Policy, you’ll
join a group of health professionals who are making
a noticeable difference in the lives of the individuals, families, and communities they serve.
Morgan State is home to the ASCEND Center for Biomedical Research, funded by a $23.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The program aims to train undergraduate biomedical researchers to address the root causes of health disparity issues through entrepreneurship.
