For over 130 years, Morgan State University has been an important part of the higher education system in Baltimore City, the State of Maryland, and the nation. Throughout its history, Morgan has served the community with distinction while meeting the educational needs of an increasingly diverse society. Its designation as Maryland's Public Urban University assures that Morgan will continue to play a prominent role in Maryland's education future.
Morgan State University, formerly Centenary Biblical Institute (1867-1890), Morgan College (1890-1938) Morgan State College (1938 -1975), is located in residential Baltimore, Maryland. Morgan is a historically black college and Maryland's designated public urban university. Though it is a public institution, Morgan is not a part of the University System of Maryland; the school opted out of becoming a part of the system.
Morgan was founded in 1867 as the Centenary Biblical Institute, a Methodist Episcopal seminary, to train young men in the ministry. It later broadened its mission to educate both men and women as teachers. The school was renamed Morgan College in 1890 in honor of the Reverend Lyttleton Morgan, the first chairman of its Board of Trustees, who donated land to the college.
In 1915 Andrew Carnegie gave the school a grant of $50,000 for a central academic building. The terms of the grant included the purchase of a new site for the College, payment of all outstanding obligations, and the construction of a building to be named after him. The College met the conditions and moved to its present site in northeast Baltimore in 1917. Then a controversy exploded: in 1918, the white community of Lauraville was incensed that the Ivy Mill property, where Morgan was to be built, had been sold to a "negro" college. It attempted to have the sale revoked by filing suit in the circuit court in Towson, which dismissed the suit. They then appealed the case to the state Court of Appeals. The appellate court upheld the lower court decision, finding no basis that siting the college at this location would constitute a public nuisance. Despite some ugly threats and several demonstrations against the project, Morgan College was allowed to be constructed at the new site and later expand. Carnegie Hall, the oldest original building on the present MSU campus, was erected a year later.

Can you transfer after one year?

Best Answer
You will need to gain admissions to Morgan State so look at their admissions criteria. Most schools that are accredited by a 'regional accrediting body' have a policy of accepting transfer credits from other accredited schools. You may not be able to transfer all credits, or you may get them all, that is up to Morgan State. Call or visit their admissions office, and depending on how far along you are you may need to speak with an adviser in your academic department to see what classes will transfer.
Most of the students in the US who graduated last year had credits from more than one college, so transferring is quite common.

It depend upon your major of study. Check and see if they have the program you want to apply to and see how compatible it is with the course work you already have. If it is a technical program, they probably won't accept your credits Good Luck
