Peer Institutions

Although the University of Maryland, Baltimore's mix of professional schools makes it unique among public academic health centers, five public institutions were selected in 1999 as peers for the purpose of State funding guideline calculations. These same five public institutions are also used in the Peer Performance process. Because only two of these peer institutions have law schools, three additional public institutions were selected for the purpose of law school comparisons. These are the University of Connecticut, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Virginia.
