Atlanta University Center
- Atlanta University Center
The Atlanta University Center is the largest contiguous consortium of African-American higher education in the United States of America. The center is made up of four historically black colleges in southwest Atlanta, Georgia. The institutions included in this consortium are Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Spelman College, and the Morehouse School of Medicine. The consortium structure allows for students to cross-register at the other institutions in order to attain a broader collegiate experience. They also share the Robert W. Woodruff Library.
Morris Brown College was a member of the Atlanta University Center until it lost its accreditation and federal funding in 2002 because of financial mismanagement during the 1998-2002 tenure of Dr. Dolores E. Cross as school president.The Interdenominational Theological Center, while still fully operational, is also a former member.
The campus is located near downtown Atlanta, southwest of the Georgia Dome.
