UMBC combines the emphasis on teaching found at the best liberal arts colleges with the innovation of a research university. You'll find students — inspired by and often working alongside faculty who are leaders in their fields — thinking about the hard questions of society, science and creative expression, and then moving beyond the classroom to make a difference. The Carnegie Foundation ranks UMBC in the category of Research Universities with high research activity.
UMBC is a member of the University System of Maryland and is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Move along, people. Nothing to see here. Go home, you looky-loos.
