Welcome
to the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS)
at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. We have much
to offer our students, the campus community, and the Baltimore-Washington
metropolitan area.
With
a diverse array of 27 Bachelor's, 16 Master's, and 6 Ph.D.
programs, the College comprises more than 250 full-time faculty
members and some 3,800 undergraduate majors and 1,100 graduate
students. It awards more than half of UMBC's undergraduate
degrees and also of its graduate degrees.
Reflecting
the direction 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 new Performing Arts and Humanities Facility
now in the design phase will transform the face of the campus
and make UMBC all the more an intellectual resource and cultural
destination for the area. For more information about the disciplines
and programs in CAHSS, please go to the departmental
links that can be found on this website as well as on
the UMBC home page.
Comments and suggestions about the Web site, as well
as requests for information about the College of Arts, Humanities, and
Social Sciences may be directed to aylswort@umbc.edu.
