The University of Maryland, Baltimore County was born amid the turbulent swirl of the 1960s, and we had to cut our own path in a field of older, established institutions. From the beginning, we believed that a university could be innovative, interdisciplinary, inclusive – and great. We believed that ground-breaking research and a relentless focus on undergraduate success could go hand-in-hand.
We believe every one of our students can reach heights they never realized were possible given the right circumstances. In the right place, with the right people around them, they can learn and grow like never before, and open up greater possibilities than they imagined. It`s that simple, and that life-changing. When we welcome a student, we`re all in. We`re committed to helping them achieve. To lift them up so they can see what they can become. We make an extraordinary, personal investment in each student that most schools would never consider. Faculty members here are incredibly invested in you as a person, well beyond imparting knowledge. Most are longtime members of our close community and can`t imagine doing it any other way. While the size is personal, there are also plenty of opportunities to grow, from engaging in clubs and sports, to community service and networking with our dedicated alumni. The investment is an extraordinary amount of time and caring. And the payoff for students` lives is thrilling and lasting. It`s no wonder people feel so strongly about our place, once they`ve been here. We call it “bleeding blue.” All you have to do is be ready to explore, engage and grow as our community invests in you. So you can step into a life you never knew was possible. We think that`s truly extraordinary.
