Morehouse College
Founded in 1867 and located in Atlanta, Georgia, Morehouse is an academic community dedicated to teaching, scholarship, and service, and the continuing search for truth as a liberating force. As such, the College offers instructional programs in three divisions - business and economics, humanities and social sciences, and science and mathematics - as well as extracurricular activities that:
develop skills in oral and written communications, analytical and critical thinking, and interpersonal relationships;
foster an understanding and appreciation of world cultures, artistic and creative expression, and the nature of the physical universe;
promote understanding and appreciation of the specific knowledge and skills needed for the pursuit of professional careers and/or graduate study, and;
cultivate the personal attributes of self-confidence, tolerance, morality, ethical behavior, spirituality, humility, a global perspective, and a commitment to social justice.
The College seeks students who are willing to carry the torch of excellence and who are willing to pay the price of gaining strength and confidence by confronting adversity, mastering their fears, and achieving success by earning it. In pursuit of its mission, Morehouse challenges itself to be among the very finest liberal arts institutions in the world.
The Ray Charles Performing Arts Center The Ray Charles Performing Arts Center is further evidence of Morehouse College's commitment to enhancing the study of the arts in its world-class liberal arts education. Designed to serve the academic mission of the Department of Music, as well as meet the performance space requirements of the College campus, the Center is home to the Morehouse College Glee Club, Morehouse Jazz Band, Morehouse College Jazz Ensemble and "House of Funk" Marching Band. The Center's architectural features capture the beauty of the traditional red brick bar accents and columns on the main campus, while adding the more modern, artistic elements of light colored stone accents, glass walls and cathedral ceilings.
The $20-million, 76,000-square-foot facility—located at the edge of the historic West End district at the corner of Joseph P. Lowery and West End Avenue—provides an attractive and welcoming gateway to the south entrance of the college campus.
Emma and Joe Adams Concert Hall
The Emma and Joe Adams Concert Hall is the primary performance space for the Morehouse College Glee Club, the Jazz Ensemble and other smaller performance groups, as well as student and faculty recitals, musical theatre productions and opera.
The Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel
The Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel seeks to develop, promote and accomplish clergy, laity, and youth awakening through reconciliation, non-violence, science, spirituality and the building of global "communities of hope." It is these "beloved communities" that live out divine promises of unity and peace. The Chapel is the world's most prominent living religious memorial to alumnus Martin Luther King Jr., class of 1948. The Chapel is the "living room" of historic Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, the birthplace of the civil rights movement in the United States of America. It is a "world house" where we welcome and honor distinguished global citizens who embody the vision of peace. It is in this manner that we inspire examples of Christ's consciousness of unconditional love.
