Alabama State University - College of Education

The College of Education led the efforts to launch an MOU with Morris Brown College. Dean Anthony Broughton championed this vision and today we celebrated at the Signing Day!

Alabama State University and Morris Brown College have signed a memorandum of understanding establishing a pathway for Morris Brown graduates to pursue graduate studies at ASU.

The partnership strengthens collaboration between the two historically Black institutions while expanding educational opportunities and supporting the next generation of scholars.
