The Graduate School
Graduate studies began at the Baltimore campus of the University of Maryland in 1918. Today, the Graduate School offers more than 50 degree programs in biomedical, health, human service, and life sciences at the postbaccalaureate certificate (PBC), Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) levels. Approximately half of these are self-supporting programs (the ‘Contemporary’ programs), exclusively delivered by Graduate School faculty, while others are affiliated with the University of Maryland schools of dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and social work. The Graduate School also offers formal dual-degree programs with the University’s professional schools and facilitates interinstitutional studies and cooperative degree programs in several fields with other University System of Maryland (USM) campuses and graduate programs.
Our website, www.graduate.umaryland.edu, includes the Graduate School Catalog, program information, links to program and school web pages and email addresses, the online application for admission, and forms and polices for current graduate students.
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Opened in 1807, the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) is Maryland’s public health, law, and human services university, dedicated to excellence in education, research, clinical care, and public service. UMB enrolls over 7,100 students in six nationally ranked professional schools — dentistry, law, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and social work — and an interdisciplinary Graduate School. The University offers 80 doctoral, master’s, baccalaureate, and certificate programs and confers most of the professional practice doctoral degrees awarded in Maryland.
UMB is a thriving academic health center combining cutting-edge biomedical research and exceptional patient care. UMB’s extramural funding totaled $688 million in Fiscal Year 2020, and each tenured/tenure-track faculty member brings $1.5 million in research grants, on average, into UMB every year. Located in Baltimore, the campus consists of 71 acres with 6.5 million gross square feet of space in 62 buildings.
The University of Maryland Graduate School, Baltimore (UMGSB)
Created in 1985, UMGSB represents the combined graduate and research programs at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and UMB — the University System of Maryland (USM) doctoral research campuses in the Baltimore area. Several joint programs with UMBC permit UMB graduate students to take advantage of the association of faculty and the wide variety of courses offered at UMBC. All UMB and UMBC graduate programs are reviewed by a joint Graduate Council of the UMGSB.
MPower
MPower is a strategic partnership between the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) and the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) — to strengthen and serve the state of Maryland and its citizens. Since its creation in 2012, MPower has fostered hundreds of collaborations from across both institutions that are growing Maryland’s innovation economy, advancing interdisciplinary research, increasing educational benefits, and addressing the state’s most critical issues. The partnership is delivering on a vision of collaboration, innovation, and transformative impact across Maryland. The University of Maryland Strategic Partnership Act of 2016 strengthened and formalized the structured relationship between UMB and UMCP, and the law deepens the alliance and energizes UMB and UMCP to pursue even greater transformative change and impact.
