Since its founding in 1867, Morehouse College has established itself as a premier institution dedicated to developing world-class leaders. As the nation’s only historically Black liberal arts college for men, Morehouse has a distinguished legacy of producing changemakers across industries—from civil rights icons like Martin Luther King Jr. to other prominent business leaders, scholars, and innovators. With an engaged network of more than 17,000 alumni, the College continues to shape the future of students by providing a rigorous academic experience that fosters intellectual and ethical growth.
Morehouse is in a period of transformational growth, bolstered by Making Men of Consequence: The Campaign for Morehouse College, a $500 million initiative that will expand scholarship opportunities, modernize campus infrastructure, and elevate faculty excellence. Located in the heart of Atlanta, a city rich in culture and history, Morehouse provides a dynamic environment for students, faculty, and staff committed to making a lasting impact.
