My advice to prospective students...

Try everything! Even if you know what you want to do with your life allow yourself the space to see if that changes. And it might not! Either way you'll get to say you tried and move forward without any "what ifs."

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Intro to Philosophy with James Thomas. His humor and energy in the classroom makes tackling complex theories enjoyable and leaves you wanting to know more!

How has UMBC helped you grow?

I came in to UMBC thinking I knew exactly what I wanted and was only here to get my degree and get out. Since having to take my GEPs I realized the major I came in with was not my forever home and switching was not as scary as I thought it would be.

What makes UMBC home?

UMBC has a way of truly bringing out the best in everyone. It's rigorous academically and encouraging creatively; everything that I could want to help me improve in all aspects of life. The policies UMBC has in place make failing ok as we truly only learn from our failures. Additionally, I have to say UMBC has a way of helping you find your people!
