Seven Schools, One University: Making a Global Impact
The University of Maryland, Baltimore is deeply committed to, and engaged in, global research, education, and service. A global approach helps students develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for contemporary professional practice, global collaboration in research and scholarship, and participation in civic life. For faculty, a global approach enlivens faculty scholarship and teaching, expands research opportunities, and provides a pathway to national and international distinction. For our community and nation, a global approach links us to the best ideas in the world, contributes to a vital economy, and prepares future world leaders who know and respect science and the free exchange of ideas.
The Center for Global Engagement opens a world of possibilities for UMB students, scholars, faculty, and staff through nationally-recognized programming. Here are a few examples that demonstrate how UMB is “Improving the Human Condition, Globally."

The School of Medicine's Institute for Human Virology and Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health have taken the national lead in extending UMB's work beyond national borders. They are global leaders in vaccine development, disease surveillance, and reducing child mortality rates, based on more than 40 years of research and service. CVD has extensive expertise monitoring HIV/AIDS, including conducting the largest-ever in-country study of HIV. CVD was also the first global center to test, develop, and license vaccines for critical emerging diseases such as Ebola, Zika, cholera, and typhoid.
