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.

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.

The academics at Morgan State University are great. The teachers do work with their students to know them personally by name. The class sizes are good to the point where there is a max of 25-30 in most classes. Some classes have more and some have less. Overall the teachers are equipped and skilled to learn their many different students in a short period of time. I can not say that I have had a least favorite class. I know that science and history is not my strongest subjects. However, at Morgan, they hire teachers that are passionate in their fields. Regardless if you did not like a subject, when you have a teacher who is passionate about the material it is easy to learn and to actually enjoy what your learning. Students are studying all the time. At any time of the day you can catch students in the library from sun up to sun down. During midterm and finals week you will see a lot more students utilizing the library and the service hours are increased for those reasons. However, Morgan State University has many different computer labs on campus that can be used so there are many places where students can study and print. Because the class sizes are relatively small, the teachers do require and want students to actively participate in class. When you participate you honestly learn more about the topic at hand and the subject overall. It is easier to understand the class and pass with flying colors. The students do realize this and many students participate in class discussions. Definitely on Morgan's campus will you find students have intellectual conversations and debates outside the classroom with other students and faculty. The students are abreast on the activities that are happening on their campus, in their community, and around the world. Many students and organizations, therefore, hold many forums to bring light to issues from around the world. The students are competitive when it comes to things on campus. I would suggest to be yourself and always bring your A game. I am in the Sociology Department and it is a great department. The department has faculty that truly care for their students and immerse them into the career through forums, excursions, and hands on training. Because the teachers are so caring I do speak with a hand full of them outside school via cell phone and Facebook. Our school, from others stand point of view, has low requirements in terms of getting into the school. This is because Morgan State University wants to give all the opportunity to attend school. Once you are a student, you must do your work in order to stay in. Like any school you have to care about your work and do good in order to succeed. Morgan State University has an educational program that gears its students to get ready for their career and getting a job. There are so many programs and events that happen on campus that gives students opportunities for internships, jobs, and career experience.

Our programs are extremely rigorous. I know all my professors by name and class participation is common especially if students want to do well. Most teachers try to incorporate participation into their grading to get students to interact. My department is political science. It is very intense and requires a lot of time and hard work. I make sure that my face is well known in the office so that professors know that I'm interested in doing well. My program makes sure that we are well prepared for the business world.

Academics are one of the Universities priorities. Students are able to create close relationships where professors know student's names and personalities. My favorite class as a psychology major was Theories of Personality. The course was very interesting and thought provoking. One thing i like about Morgan state is the students participation in study sessions and tutoring.

Like any school, you have some students that are more involved then others. I enjoy the smaller classes versus the auditorium size classes at some universities because it gives us the opportunity to interact more. Professors hold students accountable for their actions and are readily available when needed. It is up to the student to take advantage of the help offered. Most subjects offer free tutoring and study groups.

Academics are good at my school, we have very knowledgable professors. They are supportive and want all the students to be successful in life. The information I have recieved from most of my professors have been life changing, in the sense of changing the way I think in a good way. The professors are very wise, honest, and understanding. Though this is not the case for all the professors I have taken, I can honestly say I have never had a teacher I couldnt talk to, especially if I was having trouble in the class. Most people at Morgan go in undecided and will have the one special teacher make them realize that class they are taking is something they would want to make their major. Every teacher that Ive had has been fair, though some required much more effort and attention then others. Classroom sizes are no more then 30 people at the most so the teacher will definitely know your name, especially teachers in your major so you will feel comfortable and not like another face!

Morgan has a wide variety of academic programs. Professors at the campus want to get to know you because they want to help you succeed. My favorite class is honestly any of the music classes. My least favorite class would have to be any of the math classes. Students at Morgan State study very often. In fact, the library had to be made open a full 24 hours because of the high student demand. The most unique class I have ever taken at the university would have to be my speech class. It's very unique because it is definitely a class that forces you to think about everything and analyze things in a different manner. My major at Morgan State is Music. The Murphy Fine Arts Center is a building full of people with incredible talent. It is definitely a building anyone should check out during their time at Morgan. Some of the academic requirements I would be fine without, but nothing too big to really complain about.Depending on how seriously you take learning will depend on how the school is going to help you in finding a career.

The academics at Morgan can be challenging if you do not apply yourself by spending time studying or seeking a tutor. Morgan offers a plethora of majors and classes to study. This past semester I elected to take a Chinese 101 class. It was somewhat challenging learning a brand new language but my professor was very helpful.

Class participation is a large factor, and in many cases can determine whether or not the material being introduced by a professor is understood and is also a great way to indicate to professors that you are making a concerted effort to learn and improve (the stupidest question is the one not asked). Morgan State's academic requirements are adequate, because it allows prospective students that may have been refused admission by other Colleges/Universities a chance to prove to themselves that they can achieve success, and many situations, all it take for someone to succeed is a chance that was given to the individual. I am a Civil Engineering Major in the School of Engineering. The course work is very challenging and therefore enables each student to perform at their very best. The faculty/staff within the department are very helpful and are always available to meet with students in an effort to resolve any issue or to simply offer a helping hand. The education offered to students within the school of engineering is well balanced and is geared towards allowing each student perfoming at their utmost best within the corporate world.

Most class sizes range from 15-20 students (general classes sometimes being 25-30), with work given out in a clear and concise fashion. Syllibi are given in a timely basis with due dates for assignments clearly stated. Sometimes a due date may change but a student is given ample notification. Professors will know each of their students which makes class participation all the more common. This in turn can spark a competitive fire amongst students. This may include debates within a class or a simple meeting of the minds outside the classroom, in a more casual setting. MSU is perparing its students for life AFTER college by applying real-world scenarios on an everyday basis. As a student you will not be giving simple problems that can be solved by basic memory or rote memorization; you will have analytical come to a conclusion that will test all of your cumulative learning that has led you to the point in your academic career your are at.
