Overall, not a bad school to attend for architecture or in general. After starting a career I realized there are a lot of gaps in what you are taught though. A large emphasis is placed on design and the design process, which is a big part of the field, but there’s minimal attention given to other crucial things such as building codes.

The use of technology is invaluable as most every office uses some type of software to complete every day work. Morgan State gives you a small dive into several different... Read More softwares allowing students to have a more robust technology resume upon graduation. Although, hand drafting is also stressed as an important part of the curriculum, so students are well-rounded in skills upon graduation.

The school often held career fairs, but if you’re an architecture student I wouldn’t count on anything coming out of these. The firms invited typically came and entertained student interest, but they were all typically looking for recent grads or students with at least 2 years of experience. Which is hard to get when the school doesn’t bring in firms that are willing to work with 2nd or even 3rd years.

Be aware that most architecture professors are incredibly unforgiving. Even in personal or medical situations, they are often not lenient when it comes to missing class or making up assignments. There were many professors I encountered who didn’t think there were any valid excuses to miss class. There’s a professor on staff who ignores accommodations granted by the university and blames students when he can’t find excused notes. Be aware that he had full backing from the department head when both of those issues were taken to higher ups at the university, so as a student you feel powerless even though he breaks numerous university and other laws/rules.

In general, the professors at Morgan are really hit or miss. You have some that don’t entirely care and others who care too much, as well as everything in between. I suggest looking into rate my professor before choosing classes, it was often pretty helpful to determine who was good vs who would make your life horrible.

If you need anything from the school, tack on 3-4 business MONTHS to hear back from them. I was always ran in circles trying to find out information that the school claimed to have, yet nobody had an answer.

Overall, there’s a lot to know about the architecture field and I think Morgan State does an okay job preparing students for the real world. The school as a whole needed some improvements internally, but I still thoroughly enjoyed my time.

I am so sorry I came to this program. Sure it is an excellent bargain regarding tuition, but you get what you pay for. Director takes months to answer emails. Then she is vague when she bothers to write. Little (like $100) or no financial support for research, conferences, or travel Took members of my Cohort over a semester just to schedule a defense No standards regarding plagiarism, cheating, or even in preparation for defense NOT student friendly- really administration friendly- it's all about... Read More them Low faculty morale- they all have at least 15 doctoral students- EACH- to chair Men are favored and passed through- women must claw and scratch their way through The faculty care, but I see how they are also treated like scum. The state of Maryland found that they overcharged in-state students like out-of-state students- this is illegal and happens A LOT I had a great undergrad HBCU experience. But grad school at MSU is a whole other issue. I should have gone to Howard.

My experience in elementary education major was excellent. the professors was pass over most recent MD education content at the time I was in Morgan.When I went to the student teachings in the Baltimore city/Haward county elementary school, I didn’t have any problems went smoothly also become a new teacher in PG county, also went pretty well as a first year 1st grade teacher. Also after 2 years as a 1st grade, I was pull out from the elementary to high school in Japanese language teacher (I am Japanese... Read More citizen) and went to the graduate school.

I truly do feel like in numerous areas they lack academics, like illuminating understudies about occasions and scholastics. Morgan to me is an exceptional shut-off school. In the event that you don't resemble a specific gathering of individuals or dress equivalent to them, you'll be forgotten about on numerous occasions. There are a lot of cliques here at Morgan and many individuals here are some interesting people to me. I'm an information system major and my whole time being here at Morgan I haven't... Read More received any data on internships or things to assist me with bettering my career. Morgan is a party school and so I feel like it's effective for individuals to get distracted. I've met a couple of individuals last semester and many have let me know they weren't truly here for the schooling they were hanging around for the public activity. Morgans acceptance rate is extremely high and all things considered, I think there are numerous students who just got acknowledged and came. Not that many students who are truly determined for school have a passion for themselves and are competitive. Generally, if you are genuine about your career and need a school that really focuses on their understudies I don't recommend morgan being the right school for you.

Upon enrolling as a freshman in 2015, I quickly became involved on campus and begun to make my mark. During my freshman year, I ran for Miss Freshman (a position that allows for you to be the voice/advocate for the entire freshman class). Although I lost the race, I did not let that stop me from being an active member of the Morgan State community. I decided... Read More to join the Student Government Association (SGA) as the Freshman Class Community Service Director, in addition I joined a community service based organization called The National Council of Negro Women. My sophomore year, I became involved in an organization called Jewels Inc., which was a mentoring program for young intercity girls in high school. Junior year, I became a member of the Student Research Center and also became a member of the Black and Gold Royal Court representing the Beta Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. As my undergraduate studies came to an end, I decided to join the Psychological Society, an organization geared specifically to Psychology majors that provided us with networking oppurtunities for the future.

Overall, I really enjoyed my matriculation at Morgan and would recommend the university to anyone looking to be a force of change in the world. This university has truly given me the building blocks to success.

Morgan State University is a great school to attend if you are looking to improve your self-initiative skills. They will make nothing easy for you (which is a good thing in a lot of ways, but can be a pain in others). It's easy getting into Morgan but they will make you work to get out. Retention rate is really high, not because students are lazier here than anywhere else, but because of the numerous standardized tests you must pass with a "B" or better in order to graduate. I, myself, had to take... Read More 7 different standardized exams. I was tempted to complain about Morgan a lot while I was there however, now that I look back I am really grateful for the standard they uphold. It grew me and now I tell everyone "Go to Morgan if you want to learn!"

Although Morgan State University was not my first choice, it was the best decision I've made thus far in life. My 5 years at Morgan State University cultivated the leader that I am today. When I first got to Morgan, I was a Chemistry major. As a Cameroonian-American, only careers in medicine, pharmacy, engineering and law were acceptable. Later during my matriculation, I realized that I did not enjoy chemistry and more importantly, I did not want to become a pharmacist. As a result of this realization,... Read More I changed my major to Biology. Again, another great decision, I made. While Morgan's Biology Department wasn't equipped with the best labs, it was home to a very intelligent, research-oriented faculty and learning under this diverse faculty further fueled my interest in science. If there was one thing I could change about my program, it would be to make research a requirement. The program was originally intended for those students interested in pursuing Medical school after graduation, the entire student population could have befited from a required internship or science project. Other than that, Morgan was the best!
