Graduate programs at UMBC are designed to serve both professional and research-oriented students. The UMBC Graduate School offers 33 masters and Ph.D. programs and 10 certificate programs in the natural and social sciences, engineering, public policy, and arts and humanities. At UMBC's College of Engineering and Information Technology, breakthroughs are the result of creative but disciplined minds trained to see broad possibilities and achieve real results. They come from people eager to break new ground, to make new connections—in short, to fuse research with reality. What kind of student is drawn to our graduate programs? Someone who enjoys the challenge of problem-solving on their own and as a contributing member of a research team. We know from experience that this personal drive for answers makes a difference.
