educational opportunities to students and alumni who make a difference in their communities. Maryland’s
oldest historically black university is racing to excellence in serving diverse 21st century learners and
providing public education for the public good. We offer 22 majors, 19 master’s programs, 14 post-

This catalog is an important tool to aid in your academic success. In it you will find a complete list of

so I encourage you to make the most of your time and contribute your talents to the campus and the
broader community. Participate in student activities, meet new people and experience all that the
