FRESHMAN STUDIES PROGRAM
Students who have successfully completed the Pre-College Program may enroll in the follow-on sequence in the fall semester which is the Freshman Studies Program. The Freshman Studies Program monitors the pace and intensity at which students commence their first-year of academic work at Morgan State University. The program limits the number of credits students may pursue each semester in order to help ensure academic success and a smoother transition from high school to college. These Freshman Studies courses meet for additional hours each week and are designed to strengthen and enhance a student’s academic skills and understanding of the core curriculum.
Semester Course Load Limits
Students in the Freshman Studies Program may take no more than 13 credit hours during each of the two semesters of their enrollment in the program.
