Morris Brown College to help Art Institute of Atlanta students

ATLANTA — A partnership between the recently closed Art Institute of Atlanta and a historically Black institution is looking to help student finish their education.  

Morris Brown College in Atlanta has announced an opportunity for Art Institute of Atlanta students to complete their studies. The program is officially named the Art Institute of Atlanta Pathway to Morris Brown College partnership. 

“We personally here at Morris Brown College know a lot of the feelings that are going on amongst the individuals over at the Art Institute,” president Dr. Kevin James said. “Although Morris Brown never closed, we did have a huge exodus of students that had to leave Morris Brown College because we lost our federal financial aid.”

“This is a phenomenal opportunity to come full circle for Morris Brown College and be able to offer some assistance to these students who now may not know which way to go,” James said. “Morris Brown has a phenomenal academic environment. We have phenomenal faculty members, a phenomenal leadership team.”

“Now that Morris Brown is accredited, we can accept up to 90 credits so they don’t have to start over and they can transfer in potentially as a senior, depending on the outcomes of those courses,” James said. “We want you to be a part of our growth and our restoration.”
