Morehouse College is one of several partners featured in our 2022 Transparency & Outcomes Report that collaborate with us to deliver innovative, high-quality online learning experiences that drive strong outcomes for learners around the world.
In early 2021, Morehouse College made a decisive move to extend its mission of educating Black men and men of color beyond the borders of its physical campus in Atlanta, GA.
Recognizing that over 3.5 million Black men in America have some college credit but no degree, Morehouse and 2U saw an opportunity to provide an affordable and accessible pathway to a bachelor’s degree by leveraging the power of high-quality online education.
The result was a groundbreaking online undergraduate degree completion program priced at half the cost per credit of Morehouse’s traditional on-campus bachelor’s degree.
The program is specifically designed for students with existing college credit and adult life experience and/or who enrolled at Morehouse but left before completing their undergraduate experience.
By the end of 2022, nearly 600 students from 36 states—from Georgia to Texas to California—had enrolled in its online Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, with the first graduating cohort in spring 2023.
“We were able to launch Morehouse Online in half a year, bringing a Morehouse education to students from across the country who would not otherwise have benefited from our school's mission,” says David A. Thomas, President of Morehouse College. “Because of this scale and the benefits of the online modality, we have been able to dramatically reduce tuition rates.”
