HBCUs, Other MD Colleges Plan for In-Person, Remote Learning in Fall | Afro

The 12 state schools that constitute the University System of Maryland will use a mix of in-person and remote learning when they reopen in the fall.

The system, which includes the flagship University of Maryland at College Park, announced a framework May 29 for schools to respond to the coronavirus.

The release said all schools will provide at least some on-campus, in-person instruction in combination with remote learning.

Baltimore HBCU Morgan State University said it had already begun planning for a re-imagined fall semester back in April.

“Pending any new prohibitive guidance from the State, at this current time, Morgan State University plans to reopen its campus in the fall, resuming full instruction featuring an innovative ‘student choice’ course delivery model that incorporates face-to-face and remote learning.
