The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) is a dynamic institution composed of six professional schools — Dentistry, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Social Work — and the interdisciplinary School of Graduate Studies, each dedicated to advancing education, research, clinical care, and service. While united as one university, each school manages its own admissions process, preparing future leaders to make a lasting impact on communities locally, nationally, and globally.
