Welcome
to the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at
the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Part of a remarkably
stimulating and innovative University with increasing national
honors and with a deep commitment to undergraduate education
and community outreach as well as to graduate education and
research, the College has much to offer our students, the
campus community, and the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan
area. With a diverse array of some 30 Bachelors, 16 Masters,
and 6 Ph.D. programs, some offered at the Universities at
Shady Grove in Montgomery County, the College comprises some
270 full-time faculty members, 4,500 undergraduate majors
and 1,300graduate students. It awards more than half of UMBC's
undergraduate degrees and graduate degrees and also offers
teacher certification programs. For more information about
the disciplines and programs in the College, please go to
the departmental links that can be found on this website as
well as on the UMBC home page.
Reflecting
the direction and necessities of scholarship in the 21st century,
many of our programs cross traditional disciplinary boundaries
to provide fresh insights from multiple perspectives. A number
of centers, including the Dresher
Center for the Humanities, the Imaging
Research Center, and the Maryland
Institute for Policy Analysis and Research, also promote
important multidisciplinary research, and a magnificent new
Performing Arts and Humanities Building is transforming the
face of the campus and making UMBC all the more an intellectual
resource and cultural destination for the area.
