Your Open House experience 

Students and parents/guardians begin the day together, then participate in experiences tailored to their interests before reconnecting for the afternoon mixer.

Program details and locations may be adjusted as final arrangements are confirmed. Admissions and Student Ambassadors will direct guests between experiences.

Academic Hour options

Students will explore learning at Morehouse through one of four academic divisions: Humanities, Social Sciences, Media & the Arts; Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics; Business & Economics; or Professional & Continuing Studies. Division selections and room directions will be provided during the event.

Food & hospitality

A light continental breakfast will be available during morning arrival. Participating prospective students have a scheduled lunch experience in Chivers Dining Hall. Parents and guardians should plan to purchase their own lunch; on-site food trucks are planned to include The Mad Greek, The Jazz Burger, Gekko Sushi and Greedyman BBQ. Menus and published prices are listed below, with additional campus and nearby dining options available.

Food-truck service is intended as an independently purchased lunch option for families. Menu offerings, pricing and availability are subject to the participating vendor on event day. Please confirm specific ingredients and dietary suitability directly with the vendor.

Morehouse Mixer

Close the day by reconnecting with the Morehouse community at the Morehouse Mixer on Tailgate Hill. This relaxed afternoon experience offers time to connect with current Men of Morehouse, fellow prospective students, and families.
