Overview

What is the Morehouse Accelerated Academic Program?

The Morehouse Accelerated Academic Program (MAAP) is a dynamic six-week academic program which serves as an early commencement to the student’s Morehouse College matriculation. It offers incoming freshmen a challenging and rewarding academic experience designed to provide the student with an early start to his academic career at the College. The outcomes include, but are not limited to, strengthening the student’s quantitative analysis abilities, writing proficiency, study habits, critical thinking skills and time management capabilities. Completion of the MAAP will accrue numeric college credit hours (e.g., 6-10 hours), GPA credit value (ex., A, A-, B+), as well as establish a substantive acclimation and grounding for initiating their educational experience here at Morehouse College.

Curriculum

Special Advantages

Each student will be directed to the appropriate website wherein they will be given access to take the ALEKS mathematics placement examination and the corresponding result will determine which mathematics course he will take in the program: College Algebra I, College Algebra II, Trigonometry or Calculus. Participants will take at least two additional courses, e.g., English Composition, Introduction to Philosophy, Introduction to Sociology, and The Analysis of Ideas and Concepts. The student may earn Morehouse College academic credit in the respective courses provided he passes the course.

Participants may earn a minimum of 6 credit hours and a maximum of 10 credit hours. The determination of his maximum course load will be based on the College’s evaluation and assessment of his previous academic record and performance. We will include the evaluation of earned dual enrollment courses previously taken, and we will consider approved results of AP examinations. All associated materials should be submitted as early as possible to allow for the most accurate course placements.
