About Morgan State University

Morgan State University was created in 1973 and is an expansion of Morgan State College. Originally established in 1867 by the Baltimore Conference of Methodist Episcopal Churches, the school was known as the Centenary Biblical Institute and focused on educating young black males to become ministers. The school later began to educate both men and women, and in 1890 was named Morgan College after Reverend Lyttleton Morgan, the first chairman of its Board of Trustees. In 1939 the school was purchased by the state of Maryland in response to a state study that determined the need to provide more opportunities to black citizens. In 1975 the State Legislature designated Morgan as a university, and gave it authority to offer doctorates. Today, Morgan State University boosts a strong masters program in Public Health and is the first HBCU to grant doctoral degrees in Public Health.
