University’s Board of Regents Approves Addition of 18 New Interdisciplinary Degree Programs, a Proactive Effort to Bridge Graduation Gap for Nearly 37 million Americans with ‘Some College’ Experience and ‘No Degree’
BALTIMORE — By way of unanimous vote at the Morgan State University Board of Regents’ spring quarterly meeting, Board members approved a proposal for the establishment of a novel degree-completion program and academic initiative branded Morgan Completes You (MCY). Focused exclusively on adult learners with previously earned college course credits, MCY seeks to bridge the graduation gap for some 37 million Americans who have ‘stopped out’ of college before receiving their degrees. The MCY initiative will provide an obtainable pathway to degree attainment and potential career advancement for many of these individuals. MCY is designed to offer greater flexibility, opportunity and accessibility for non-traditional undergraduate and graduate students with ‘some-college-no degree’ (SCND), by coupling their accumulated course work and work experience with a customized academic regimen leading to an interdisciplinary degree in the area of their career aspiration.

As a part of this effort, pending approval from the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC), Morgan will be adding 18 new and unique interdisciplinary degrees to its current offering of academic programs forming the foundation of the MCY program. The academic programs will be available at the undergraduate and graduate level, including eight bachelors, five master’s, and five doctoral programs.
