There are two pathways to fulfill your 30 credits of CICS core requirements. Pathway #1 requires fewer total courses. CICS 490 must be taken for 18 credits. This results in a more accelerated and intensive format for degree completion. Pathway #2 allows students to distribute their academic workload over multiple semesters. More courses are required in this pathway, providing more flexibility and affordability in degree completion. Pathway 1
- CICS 490 : Professional Field Experience 18 credits
- CICS 494 Intro to Interdisciplinary Studies OR CICS 496 : Living the Legacy of Morgan State University 4 credits
- CICS 495 : Capstone 8 credits (must be taken in last semester)
Pathway 2
- CICS 490 Professional Field Experience 6 credits
- CICS 494 : Intro to Interdisciplinary Studies 4 credits
- CICS 496 : Living the Legacy of Morgan State University 4 credits
- CICS Electives: 8 credits
- CICS 495 : Capstone 8 credits (must be taken in last semester)
CICS Electives
The following CICS courses may be used to fulfill up to 8 elective credits of the CICS core. |
