Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) was originally established at Monroe College in 1975 as a two-year medical education program having clinical training affiliations with various established medical schools for the purpose of awarding the M.D. degree. It became an independently chartered institution and separated from Morehouse College in 1981. It is located at 720 Westview Drive, SW Atlanta, Georgia.

A first year student is expected to need a budget total of at least $ 60,000.00 to include tuition, fees, books and supplies, room, board, personal and transportation expense. The amount allotted for room inclusive of utilities is based on a one-bedroom apartment. Some students may be able to manage with a smaller budget depending on their ability to control personal expenses whenever possible. Need-based grants are provided to qualified students.
