Community College Transfer Coordinators and Faculty
Each year UMBC welcomes more than 1,600 transfer students to campus, the majority of them from two-year colleges in Maryland. Some of the most popular programs for transfers include biological sciences, computer science, information systems, psychology, social work and visual arts. In total, UMBC has 42 majors, 41 minors and 17 certificate programs from which to choose.
UMBC recognizes that the needs of transferring students are different from those of first-year applicants. We hope the information gathered on this page helps answer your questions.
Transfer Credit Evaluation
Newly admitted transfer students receive a detailed transfer credit evaluation of all previous college-level
course work. To begin the academic planning process early, students transferring from Maryland
community colleges are encouraged to utilize ARTSYS to ascertain the transferability of any
Maryland community college course to UMBC.
