The University of Baltimore

Leaders Learn Here

Since 1925, The University of Baltimore has excelled in developing leaders in Baltimore and beyond. UBalt is nationally recognized for serving career-focused working adults, and our approach to education is different by design. Accelerated programs in today’s most in-demand fields, stackable credentials, experiential learning and flexible program delivery define the UBalt learning experience. Classes are available online or in person and during the day, at night or on the weekend. Across our four schools—the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences, the Merrick School of Business, the College of Public Affairs and the UB School of Law—you’ll find renowned faculty who are leading practitioners in their field. Our programs are ranked nationally—some internationally. And our students are just as nontraditional as we are: some are right out of high school, others are working adults returning to finish their undergraduate degrees and still others are seasoned professionals looking to advance their careers.

At The University of Baltimore, the city is your campus.
We provide Knowledge That Works: real-world career preparation and the hands-on experience employers demand at a fraction of the cost of other institutions.
We cater to the working adult with flexible course schedules.
Robert L. Bogomolny Library offers tutoring services, a writing center, research support, textbooks, printing and more to support our students at every stage.
Located in midtown Baltimore, we’re steps away from it all. There are plenty of public transportation options, a variety of dining spots, and many entertainment venues.
UBalt is designed to make sure everyone fits in and succeeds.

"This school is really showing me that no matter what path I choose, in terms of writing, I'll be good at it. And I'm grateful for that."

"We're definitely the place to go if you like the smaller classes and you want to make sure that it's easy to form a relationship with not just other students, but also your professors."

"It's very personable. You get to know people. You're not just your student ID—which sometimes you can get lost in the larger universities—so that that was a huge thing for me."

Quick Facts
Small

Our community is made up of students from all ages and backgrounds, and that diversity will add to your college experience in the classroom and beyond.

Urban

At UBalt, the city is your campus. Restaurants and cultural institutions are steps away from campus, and easily accessible public transportation options are nearby to take you where career connections are waiting.

Public University

You’ll get the private-college experience at a public-college price, and various funding opportunities, including merit-based scholarships, work-study programs, and our accelerated bachelor’s-to-master’s options can help you further cut costs. The Bob Parsons Scholarship Fund supports eligible transfer and military/veteran students, pays the difference between your Pell Grant award and our in-state tuition and fees.
