Morgan State University Top Questions

Academics at Morgan State University vary depending on the student. For the most part, professors and students are able to talk to each respectfully and learn from one another. Most of my professors not only taught me what was required for the course of study but also how to apply that knowledge to real-life circumstances, such as getting a job, interviewing, and pitching myself. My favorite class that I have taken would have to be Media Criticism with Dr. Jared Ball. I am really into African history and Dr.Ball had a lot to enlighten me on in the area. He is a passionate professor and allows the students to interact and discuss situations in a conversational manner. It is very important that students participate in class. In most of my classes the students are competitive so for me it is necessary to speak up when I have to add to the class. I find that most of my professors like a student participates. I have had numerous conversations with my facilitators outside of class and that has helped me better understand them and perform better in their class.

Some professors really do care about their students and do by any means possible to help you both in the class and life itself. I've learned so much information that can help me succeed in my everyday life, just from teachers telling stories of life experiences. But there are teachers that simply don't care whether you pass or fail, its up to the student to take the initiative. I feel like Morgan's academic program is great when it comes to learning basic knowledge on a large number of subjects but when it come to actually taking major courses, its set aside until your last two years of college.

Since Morgan State University is a small school it is very common to be in a class size of 25 students or less. Most of my professors know me by name and I see them all the time around campus. Professors really encourage students to interact outside of class, while they utilize most of the class time lecturing and analyzing the course. In my electrical engineering department students always discuss about recent lectures in class and we often have debates about theories and concepts. At times students can be very competitive and it helps to motivate me to perform better in class and outside of class. Most of my engineering classes were demanding and rigorous, but there was always someone willing to help me as long as I was willing to put in the effort. My favorite class was Communication Theory taught by a professor named Dr. Astatke who recorded all his lectures so that we can go home and review them at our own leisure and he seamlessly taught the class using both traditional and modern methods. My least favorite class was microelectronics, which was structureless and forced me to teach myself the material. The education at the school is geared towards teaching students skills that are marketable as well as guide students to be capable of becoming life long learners.

I am a hospitality management major at Morgan state university, and I must say that I am more than impressed with the academics here. My professors are professional and so are the students. All of the professors that I have had so far (I am in my junior year) have wanted me to pass their course and they were willing to help me in any way so that I can to do so. Class participation is usually more than welcomed in the classroom, professors are interested in feedback. There are numerous tutoring classes throughout campus, including in the dorms. Walking in the library you may also notice study groups in session preparing for presentations or exams. There are students that want to help you so that you can help each other! Professors also have office hours to help you as well and even when you cannot make an office hour, you can set up an appointment to meet with them so that it does not conflict with either of your schedules. If you like having a more personal connection with your professors, Morgan is defiantly the place for that. I have not had a class where the instructor did not have a clue what my name was. Professors do know your name here, even if they just remember you by your last name, I find that better than not knowing who I am at all.

Academics here very rigorous! Here you are given the choice to either receive an education or waste your money. Fourtanely for Morgan State many students choose the first choice.

Academics are very important here at Morgan State University. The thing I love about Morgan State is that its a college that has gave a lot of students second chances. When other colleges may turn their back or just "shun" students away Morgan takes these students and puts them in summer classes or programs to up there GPA and bring them into the university. The professors here do know your name, the student to teacher ratio here is very good. We have small classes no more then 25-30 students per class which makes it great when you need help. Since I am a biology major, all of my science geared courses are my favorite. I feel like the courses I am taking will prepare me for a great career in the science field when I graduate this spring.

Academics are as easy or challenging as you make them. Teachers are more likely to assist students who take initiative in class participation, displaying their study habits, visit during office hours, and put forth their best effort in assignments, but will also encourage those who struggle, yet have greater potential.

Since Morgan State University is a small institution the class sizes are small, this allow 30 students to a class and allow the professor to know each student name. Favorite class is nutrition and least favorite is math. Students’ study often considering the library is always in use and from experience majority of the people I talk to on campus are always busy with some type of assignment. Class participation is common among my peers, which in sense creates a competitive atmosphere. Considering that the professors are open it makes the student comfortable to want to actually hang out with the professor and utilize him/her as a mentor. One unique class that I have taken at Morgan State has been SPH-101, which the teacher made interesting my interacting with the students more than teaching. My current department is Family and Consumer Science, which is quite an interesting major and department considering the staff are always helping students in any way they can.
