About This School
University of Maryland Baltimore is a public institution located in Baltimore, Maryland with approximately 958 undergraduate students enrolled. Typical graduates earn $114,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) is a public university in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Founded in 1807, it is the second oldest college in Maryland and comprises some of the oldest professional schools of dentistry, law, medicine, pharmacy, social work and nursing in the United States. It is the original campus of the University System of Maryland and has a strategic partnership with the University of Maryland, College Park. Located on 71 acres (0.29 km2) on the west side of downtown Baltimore, it is part of the University System of Maryland.
This is a strong option for students committed to health professions, law, or social work — it's one of the oldest professional schools in the country, and graduates report median earnings of $114,200 a decade out, which is exceptional payoff relative to the modest $15,000 median debt at graduation. The catch is that with fewer than 1,000 undergraduates, this is a highly specialized institution, not a traditional broad-based college experience, so it's really only worth considering if you have a clear professional track in mind.
