true practices that have forged the College’s reputation as an educational

powerhouse and the advancement ofnew and improved practices that further

cement the College’s position as one ofthe best liberal arts colleges in the nation.

500 African American men graduate.Historically,Morehouse has graduated more

African American men than any college in the nation.

century learning,such as the Leadership Center’s smart boards and the state-of-

the-art music laboratory in the Ray Charles Center for the Performing Arts and

Music Academic Building.

e.Morehouse College:

Where Renaissance Men are Made

Campus Visitors Guide

Morehouse is a member ofthe Atlanta University Center consortium,along with

Spelman College,Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse School ofMedicine.That

means our students have all the advantages ofa small-college experience—a small

student/teacher ratio,a mentoring culture—while enjoying the diversity and energy of

auniversity-like setting.

The College’s sprawling 66-acre campus sits in the heart ofAtlanta,a dynamic,

international city that is home to many popular cultural attractions,including The

King Center,the Georgia Aquarium,Centennial Olympic Park and the CNN Center.

All ofthese elements come together to create a collegiate environment uniquely

suited to develop Renaissance men—leaders with social conscience and global

perspective who will change their communities,the nation and the world.On this

historic campus,the iconic leader ofthe civil rights movement was inspired and

educated,an Oscar-nominated filmmaker directed his first major production,the

first Rhodes scholar from a historically black college was named,and countless

black men accepted the call to become more than men,but Morehouse Men.

Welcome to Morehouse College.
