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.

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.
