University of Maryland, Baltimore

Founded in 1807, the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) is Maryland’s only public health, law, and human services university, dedicated to excellence in education, research, clinical care, and public service.

UMB enrolls nearly 6,800 students in six nationally ranked professional schools — Medicine, Law, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Social Work — and the interdisciplinary School of Graduate Studies. The University offers 99 degree and certificate programs and confers most of the professional practice doctoral degrees awarded in Maryland.

UMB is a thriving academic health center combining cutting-edge biomedical research and exceptional patient care. The University attracted $636 million in grants and contracts in Fiscal Year 2025, and its faculty are among the nation’s most productive researchers, with each tenured/tenure-track faculty member annually bringing an average of $1.46 million in grant funding into UMB — and into Maryland.

The 14-acre University of Maryland BioPark, Baltimore’s biggest biotechnology cluster, fuels the commercialization of new drugs, diagnostics, and devices, giving more than 1,000 research scientists and entrepreneurs and nearly 40 early-stage life science companies the space to create and collaborate. As demand for a dynamic innovation district keeps growing, so does the BioPark. At full build-out, it will house 2 million square feet of lab, office, clinical, and classroom space and bring needed retail properties and landscaped parks to West Baltimore.

UMB delivers $40 million each year in uncompensated care to the citizens of Maryland. Through community service and civic engagement, the University’s students, faculty, and staff provide programming that improves Marylanders’ health and wellness, advances justice, promotes economic development, and strengthens families and communities.
