In 2019, the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education has moved Morgan State University (MSU) from a moderate research classification of R3 (a ranking it held since 2006) to an elevated classification of R2, a status reserved for doctoral universities with high research activity. Morgan joins only 130 other universities nationwide to be given an R2 classification. The university offers a comprehensive array of baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate degrees. Its faculty includes over 400 members who are actively engaged in research, teaching, and service

to the university and the wider community. In 2016, the university was re-accredited by the Middle States Higher Education Commission. 

The National Center for the Elimination of Educational Disparities (NCEED) NCEED is a nationally funded research center within the School of Education and Urban Studies at Morgan State University. The work of the Center will be focused in the following six areas: Family/Community/ School Relationships, Literacy, Cultural Proficiency, Curriculum and Pedagogy, School Leadership, and Social and Emotional learning. The Center will remain responsive to other areas of work that research or school system needs indicate might be impactful in the pursuit of equity.
