New Graduate Student Orientation
New Graduate Student Orientation
I am very pleased and excited that you have selected to attend Morgan State University for your graduate studies. I know that as adult students you live busy lives and take your education seriously. The School of Graduate Studies staff has designed an online orientation to help you make a smooth transition as a graduate student. The administrative process focus of the orientation will complement the academic advisement you will receive from your departments. I encourage you to review the materials as soon as possible, as many of the administrative functions are time-sensitive.
Best wishes and much success during your time here at Morgan!
Mark Garrison, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Graduate Studies
