Morris Brown College (MBC) is a private Methodist historically black liberal arts college in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded January 5, 1881, Morris Brown is the first educational institution in Georgia to be owned and operated entirely by African Americans.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 100% graduation rate sounds impressive, but with only 338 students and a freshman retention rate of just 64%, a significant portion of students who start never make it to graduation, which raises real questions about fit and support. At $18,898/year after aid, the cost is manageable compared to many private colleges, and its location in Atlanta offers genuine networking and career opportunities. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, historically Black college environment and have a clear sense of your goals, but do ask hard questions during your visit about student support services and why so many freshmen leave.
