What makes UMBC home?
The relationships that I've made. There is a community for everyone .
I chose UMBC because...
I heard about UMBC's efforts to help African Americans succeed especially in STEM. I believed that I would be welcomed on campus and I would be encouraged to succeed all while receiving a quality education.
Fun Fact
UMBC produces the most African Americans who pursue M.D, Ph.D than any other university in the country.
My advice to prospective students...
is don't feel stuck to one major or minor. It's ok to not know exactly what you want to do but be willing to explore different fields.
