The University

Morgan State University is an HBCU (Historically Black College and

University, located in the bustling city of Baltimore, MD. With its

major industries are, Morgan is well positioned to grow. In the
last five years, the University has increased its enrollment by
more than 50%, from 7500 to over 12,000 students, and has tripled
its research grants, from about $30 million to over $100 million in
2024-2025. The university has 900 faculty members and offers a
comprehensive array of degree programs including more than 60
baccalaureates, 40 master’s, and 30 doctorate programs. With
