orehouse College is an academic incubator where the best of the past
and the future converge to create a one-of-a-kind academic village. The
ageless words of Martin Luther King Jr., a 1948 alumnus, are inscribed
on the walls of the chapel named in his honor. The steady gaze of Benjamin E.
Mays—the College’s sixth president who was credited with being the architect of
the school’s international reputation for excellence—peers across the manicured
lawn of Century Campus where, each spring, approximately 500 predominantly
African American men graduate. Historically, Morehouse has graduated more
African American men than any college in the nation.
Men of Morehouse are educated in facilities that are equipped with the latest
technological advances for 21st-century learning, such as the Walter E. Massey
Leadership Center’s smart boards and the state-of-the-art digital music
laboratory in the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center.

Welcome toMorehouse College
Campus Visitors Guide
Morehouse is a member of the Atlanta University Center Consortium, along
with Spelman College, Clark Atlanta University and the Morehouse School of
Medicine. That means our students have all the advantages of a small-college
experience—a small student/teacher ratio, a mentoring culture—while enjoying
the diversity and energy of a university-like setting.
The College’s sprawling 66-acre campus sits in the heart of Atlanta, 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.
Atlanta is also a college town with students attending a number of institutions such as
Georgia Tech, Emory, Georgia State, Oglethorpe and Agnes Scott.
All of these elements come together to create a collegiate environment uniquely
suited to develop global leaders who will change their communities, the nation and
the world. On this historic campus, the iconic leader of the civil rights movement
was inspired, 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.
