Welcome to the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social
Sciences (CAHSS) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
We have much to offer our students, the campus community, and the Baltimore-Washington
metropolitan area.
With a diverse array of undergraduate and graduate programs in the arts
(Dance; Music; Theatre; Visual Arts), the humanities (American Studies;
Ancient Studies; English; Language, Literacy and Culture; Modern Languages
and Linguistics; Philosophy), and the social sciences (Administrative
Sciences, Africana Studies; Economics; Education; Emergency Health Services;
Gender and Women’s Studies; Geography and Environmental Systems;
Health Administration and Policy; History, Political Science; Psychology,
Public Policy; Sociology and Anthropology), the College comprises some
250 full-time faculty members and nearly 3,800 undergraduate majors
and 1,000 graduate students. It awards well over half of UMBC’s
undergraduate degrees and approximately half of its graduate degrees,
including Masters’ degrees in the Departments of Economics, Education,
Emergency Health Services, History, Modern Languages and Linguistics,
Psychology, Public Policy, Sociology, and Visual Arts and Ph.D. degrees
in Language, Literacy and Culture, Psychology, and Public Policy. Together
with the University of Maryland, Baltimore, we offer a Ph.D. program
in Gerontology.
Reflecting the direction of scholarship in the 21st century, many of
our programs cross traditional disciplinary boundaries to provide fresh
insights from multiple perspectives. CAHSS students can also take advantage
of a variety of internship and other co-curricular activities. For more
information about the disciplines and degree programs in CAHSS, please
go to the departmental links
that can be found on this website as well as on the UMBC home page.

Social Sciences may be directed to aylswort@umbc.edu.
