Morgan State launches new college to spur ‘Morgan Completes You’ initiative
Listen to this articleAt its fall quarterly meeting, Morgan State University’s Board of Regents voted unanimously to approve the formation of a new College of Interdisciplinary and Continuing Studies (CICS), along with its proposed tuition model.
The new unit, which houses the Morgan Completes You (MCY) initiative announced earlier this year, provides a range of degree programs to meet the needs of a diverse student body, including non-traditional students, returning students, working adults, and students who need or prefer remote education.
The launch of the new unit coincides with the Maryland Higher Education Commission’s (MHEC) recent approval of 18 new MCY interdisciplinary degree programs. CICS is currently accepting applications in preparation for its official opening in spring semester 2022.
Bringing together cross-disciplinary pairings of programs from existing academic schools at Morgan, CICS will offer a flexible curriculum and course sequence that aligns with a student’s accumulated course and/or work experience. CICS will offer eight undergraduate majors and 10 advanced degree majors (five master’s and five doctoral degree tracks). Collectively, these 18 new interdisciplinary degree programs form the foundation for Morgan Completes You.
With the aim of making the enrollment more accessible and financially desirable, the university has introduced a competitive tuition rate of $250 per credit hour for undergraduate courses and $455 per credit hour for graduate level courses.
