CICS Requirements 30 credits


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
