In 2021 Morgan State University launched the College of Interdisciplinary and Continuing Studies (CICS) to provide interdisciplinary bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs for students with some college and no degree. CICS degrees are delivered in a hybrid modality to accommodate busy adults with a flexible curriculum designed to recognize credit from prior learning. Students work closely with a dedicated academic advisor to create a degree plan that meets their personal and professional goals.

Morgan Completes You
CICS’s interdisciplinary degree programs are also known as the “Morgan Completes You” program. Morgan Completes You allows students who have started and not completed an undergraduate, master’s or doctoral program a path to graduation. The CICS PhD programs require that students have previously advanced to doctoral candidacy at an accredited college or university.
