Academics at our school are very well known. Professors know by a first, last and even nickname basis. This is not a bad thing. Teachers love when you interact in class discussions and participate in class. Whether it be asking or answering questions, they will remember you by what you say not how you look. My favorite class was Sports Journalism because I love to write and sports is my first love, so together they make the best ever made. My least favorite class is Math because I am not good at Math at all. Student studying is based on the student. Some students love to study, some love to party. Some even love to both, but make sure you know what your main priorities are. Students are competitive only in certain classes, but most of them will try not to show off unless they are trying to impress the teacher. The most unique class I've have taken is Law and Ethics because I learned a lot of new information that I never knew about. Although it was one of my hardest classes ever, it taught me a lot of information that I can use in the future. The Communications department probably has the best faculty, staff and students. We all are very social people so we know how to communicate and get along well with others. The faculty is also great. They want to succeed so they will help you out with anything you need, and I mean anything. I have gone to professors to ask them about not only class work, but also internships, scholarships, jobs, credits, and even some personal things. The academic will take time to obtain and may seem hard to do at times, but in the end it will all be worth it. The education is aimed for you to foloow your dreams and be successful in the future.

The academics here at MSU are great. I am a marketing major, but I have a twin brother who is a communications major so I can really speak towards both of those. The Earl G. Graves School of Business is really fantastic. The professors are able to accommodate to you as a person, before to you as a student. It really helps when you are just having personal problems like all of us do and you just need somebody to talk to and give advice. The best class I have taken so far was my business writing class. We covered everything and the professor was able to apply a lot of subjects within the classroom to things that happen in the so to speak "real world." Within my major a lot of the classes you take, you will be placed in a group to better prepare you for how business is done within fortune 500 companies. A lot of these groups you are placed in will end up becoming close circles and you will maintain a friendship with the students after the classes. I know of some groups where the students actually ended up going into business together because they worked so well together within the classroom.
Now the students that major in communications are really like family towards each other. The faculty over there are very nice and will help you with anything pertaining to life. They are very knowledgeable to the right equipment to use for any projects you have whether it is pertaining to class or not. The faculty does have equipment to provide such as cameras, tripods, etc. that you can rent out from the university.
Overall the majority of the students here at MSU are here to learn and compete within the classroom. The education provided here at Morgan is just not here to tell you how to get employed, but how you can take each lesson and apply to your life out of college. I recommend a four year institute to any one looking for higher education because it is the best opportunity to grow, mature, and created key relationships with friends and future business partners.

My major is Biology and this is my last semester here at Morgan. I plan to attend Graduate School to obtain a Ph.D in Microbiology and Immunology. I have had a privilege to be apart of the MBRS-Rise program which was affiliated between Morgan State University and NIH. The experience was informative and fulfilling. However, I wish there were more experiences available for Juniors and Seniors. I have learned to become opportunistic and to not put all of my eggs in one basket by branching and researching other programs although they may be in other states.

Coming into school as a freshman there can be a lot of obstacles and challenges. I think Morgan makes that transition easy when it comes to academics because they don't even give you the opportunity to say "I failed because I had no help". There are a great variety of tutoring, counseling and academic options to help keep you afloat in a world that is brand new and often difficult.
Morgan has a great array of students willing to help their peers in any way possible, so you are never alone.

I am a 4th year, Hospitality major and I can say that our major lives and breathes our industry! Our professors are very personal and classes are usually pretty small (about 15-20 people. What is most special is that the professors make a point to know who you are. They work really hard for us, searching for competitions for us to become involved in and mandating academic excellence from us all. Their office hours are usually always available when students need them and you can even pull a professor aside to discuss matters outside of the hours.
Students are pretty competitive at Morgan. We strive to make the best of one another by challenging our classmates and even our professors (to a degree). Finally, all of our professors have worked or are still working in the industry, so we really benefit from their real-world experiences.

The academics are great and so are the teachers.

Academically, Morgan State University is the best place to study. The professors are so wonderful and they are all willing to help students outside the classroom. As an accounting student, i spend most of my times in the school of business and i know most of the professors in the school and they all know me too. Anytime i have problems understanding a concept in class, i just go to see the professor. All students compete to get to the top of the class and class participation is very common especially in business courses.

Morgan State is known for excelling in not only sports, but academics as well. Morgan State produces more black engineers than any other college in the state of Maryland. Being an Electrical Engineering student, I can definitely say that the engineering program is by far the most challenging program that I’ve been a part of. As an electrical engineering student we must complete 134 credits to receive a bachelor’s of science. Additionally, Morgan state provides assistance to their students with job fairs each semester to help students further their careers. Moreover Morgan states is also praised for its renowned classical choir which has travelled the world (Russia, China, and Europe). Morgan state’s classical choir has sung for the president’s inauguration celebration and many other significant events.
