CT State Community College has signed an articulation agreement with Morehouse College, an Atlanta-based all-male historically Black college.
Under the terms of the agreement, admission is guaranteed to Morehouse’s traditional and online programs for male CT State students who meet the criteria and have earned a minimum GPA of 2.7 and an associate degree through CT State. Transfer students will enter Morehouse College with junior status, and Morehouse will provide academic advising and enrollment support to CT State students prior to and during the transition.
“As a mission-driven, student-centered, and equity-minded comprehensive and statewide community college, CT State’s values align with providing opportunities for historically underserved and minoritized communities by creating equitable pathways to upward economic and social mobility for our students to thrive,” said CT State President Dr. John Maduko. “We are grateful to be afforded the opportunity for our students to pursue a higher level of education and career advancement at the alma mater of the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and other notable African Americans.”
“Several years ago, we started to think about how we introduce the likelihood that we will find the best Black male talent available in the country, but also to think about the fact that many African American men don’t go straight to four-year colleges,” added Morehouse President Dr. David A.Thomas. “So, we’ve been on a very deliberate mission to identify the most outstanding community colleges in the country that also have a reputation for serving Black men well and creating these kinds of partnerships.”
