Overview

The University of Maryland, Baltimore is the University System of Maryland's professional-schools campus in downtown Baltimore, home to the schools of medicine, law, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, and social work. It functions primarily as a graduate and professional institution embedded in a working academic medical center, with a comparatively small undergraduate presence.

Academics

Undergraduate enrollment is concentrated mostly in nursing and other health-related completion programs, often for students finishing a degree after starting elsewhere, rather than a full four-year liberal arts undergraduate experience. Students admitted to these programs benefit from direct proximity to UMB's major teaching hospital and professional schools.

Worth knowing

Prospective students should understand UMB is not a traditional undergraduate campus in the conventional sense — there is no large first-year class, dorm-centered social life, or broad liberal arts core; it exists primarily to train medical, dental, law, pharmacy, nursing, and social work professionals, with undergraduates entering mainly through specific health-completion pathways.
