1260 Lexington Drive, West Columbia, SC

Morris College is a nonprofit private historically black institution located in Sumter, SC. A majority of historically black colleges and universities (also known as HBCUs) were established after the civil war to provide newly freed African Americans with educational opportunities. The school's Baptist affiliation is one of its defining characteristics and plays an important role within the school's mission. The school's limited space in terms of enrollment, about 1000 students, offers students a more hands on education due to the number of students per class and easier access to professors and faculty.

• Business And Marketing Studies
• Security And Protective Services
• Biological And Biomedical Sciences
• Health And Clinical Professions
• Social Sciences

The school operates under an open enrollment policy, admitting any applicants that meet the minimum requirements for admission. Submission of school records, test scores, and admissions essays may be requested for certain programs. More information on admissions can be found here.
