School Notes:

Situated on a 42-acre campus, Morris Brown College is a private, liberal arts, four-year institution founded by members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The College is located in Atlanta, Georgia, often called “the fastest growing international city in the nation.” With a population of over 3 million, metropolitan Atlanta provides college students with abundant advantages that enhance the college experience: access to rich educational resources, diverse social, cultural, and recreational opportunities, and many new and exciting career fields.
Morris Brown College serves the educational needs of African-American young men and women, is a historic institution with a unique offering on today’s educational horizon. Morris Brown is proud of its tradition of serving the educational needs of the best and the brightest young minds, while simultaneously providing educational support to students who might not otherwise receive the opportunity to compete on the college level. Students fitting the latter are given the tools they need to increase their potential for earning a college degree.
Morris Brown now offers two baccalaureate degrees: Management, Entrepreneurship and Technology (for traditional students) and Organizational Management and Leadership (for Adult Degree Students). Morris Brown College’s Herndon Stadium, designed to seat 15,000 spectators, was the Field Hockey venue during the 1996 Summer Olympics and was dedicated to the College after the Games. The other Olympic legacy Morris Brown received was The Art Gallery at Jordan Hall (now the Ruth Hall Hodges Art Gallery), which houses art of prominent African American artists. Our modern technology initiatives, combined with scientific research and advanced career training, bolster a strong liberal arts curriculum delivered by dedicated faculty in small classroom settings.
