Center for Global Studies & International Education

The Center for Global Studies and International Education (CGSIE) is the institution's arm for facilitating the university-wide efforts to internationalize the curriculum across disciplines, in a fashion that is consistent with the President's vision of "Growing the Future and Leading the World!"

H-1B and J-1 scholars are essential to advancing Morgan State University’s globalization strategic goals because they bring diverse academic perspectives, international expertise, and globally relevant research to the campus community. Their presence helps strengthen the university’s global profile, enriches classroom learning with cross-cultural insights, and fosters international collaboration that supports faculty development and institutional partnerships. By engaging scholars from around the world, Morgan enhances its capacity to participate in global problem-solving, expands research networks, and prepares students to thrive in an interconnected world. These scholars also contribute directly to the university’s mission as a Carnegie-classified R2 institution striving for greater global impact by supporting innovation, expanding international visibility, and helping cultivate a truly global campus environment

To achieve this goal, CGSIE serves as a gateway to the globalization of the local and regional communities and their minority populations. As well, the Center works collaboratively with academic departments to enhance student and faculty development through workshops, study abroad, internships, exchanges and other relevant international education programs.
