Message from the Dean (continued) At the heart of the College are its faculty members, committed teachers and scholars who teach in the undergraduate and graduate programs and engage in a remarkable variety of distinguished research and other creative work. CAHSS faculty members have won numerous prestigious fellowships, awards, and research grants from such organizations as the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the Fulbright Scholars Program, and they have been awarded some of the most important honors and distinctions in their own disciplines. Articles and books published by College faculty put them at the forefront of their fields-not just in the United States but around the world, and CAHSS arts departments and centers have won national and international recognition as well for their creative activities. The Rise of American Research Universities (Graham and Diamond, 1997), a book ranking university research achievement on a per-capita basis, found that UMBC scholars in the arts, humanities, and related social sciences ranked 13th among all public campuses in the nation in prestigious awards, and College faculty continue to rank high among American universities in such measures. Departmental links will take you to further information on faculty members in CAHSS. I encourage prospective
students to browse our website and to direct inquiries to specific departments,
to the Office of Undergraduate
Admissions, or to the Graduate
School. We offer generous scholarship support for outstanding students
at the undergraduate level in the arts (Linehan
Artist Scholars Program), the humanities (the Humanities
Scholars Program), the social sciences (the Sondheim
Public Affairs Scholars Program), and Education
(Gudelsky and other scholarships). Information about these scholarship
programs and other sources of financial aid can be found on links in this
website as well as from the Office
of Undergraduate Admissions. CAHSS students can also take advantage
of a variety of internship and other co-curricular activities. Our undergraduate
students go on to graduate and professional study at the highest rate
among University System of Maryland campuses-and they go to programs in
some of the most distinguished universities in this country and abroad.
Graduate Assistantships
are available for students in our Master's and Ph.D. programs. The Dean's
Office will also be glad to assist you, and we would be delighted to hear
from you. John Jeffries
