Bowie State University is Maryland’s first Historically Black College or University. Founded in 1865, just months after the end of the Civil War, the University began with a powerful mission: to educate those who had long been denied access to higher education. More than 150 years later, that founding purpose of expanding opportunity through education continues to shape how Bowie State prepares students and builds community.

Morgan State University, founded in 1867, is a Carnegie-classified high research (R2) institution providing instruction to a multiethnic, multiracial, multinational student body and offering more than 150 academic programs leading to degrees from the baccalaureate to the doctorate. As Maryland's Preeminent Public Urban Research University, Morgan fulfills its mission to address the needs and challenges of the modern urban environment.

Nestled in beautiful Mountain Maryland, Frostburg State combines the best of both worlds: the personal attention you’d expect from a small college with the opportunities of a national university.
