Morehouse is the nation’s only college founded to educate men of color. It produces more Black men who go on to receive doctorates than any other college in the country, has created more Rhodes Scholars than any other HBCU, and has the #1 core curriculum among HBCUs nationally. It is the nation’s top producer of Black male graduates in the social sciences, and the top HBCU producer of Black male graduates in business administration, management, operations, English, foreign languages, Mathematics, statistics, philosophy, religious studies, and physical sciences. Ranked as Georgia’s top liberal arts college for men, Morehouse is a top-feeder school for Black men entering prestigious graduate schools and MBA programs, and its students are highly recruited by Fortune 500 companies. Also named Georgia’s #1 small college, Morehouse educates a selective group of 2,500 students each year, the majority of whom come from families with household incomes of $40,000 or less. As the national epicenter for thought leadership on human rights and equity, Morehouse is committed to helping the nation address the challenges caused by institutional racism, income, and healthcare disparities, lack of access to capital, detrimental public policy, and the need for high-quality education.
