TWO CAMPUSESYou don’t have to come to Baltimore for a UB degree. We offer five graduate programs and a certificate program at the Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville. Courses are available in weekend, online and 10-week sessions.

With 40,000 alumni living in Maryland and campuses in proximity to two metropolitan areas, UB offers a clear advan-tage. Whether in downtown Baltimore or Rockville, you can easily access opportunities for research, internships and work with government, nonprofits and innovative public- and private-sector businesses.

The Universities at Shady Grove campus provides the best UB has to offer in a location that’s ideally situated on the MD-355/I-270 “technology corridor,” which serves as Montgomery County’s primary economic engine, concentrated in biotechnology but highly diversified with advanced professional, research and technology services.

ON YOUR TERMS, ON YOUR SCHEDULE

DUAL DEGREESIt’s a competitive market; differentiate yourself with a dual degree. Our MBA offers three dual-degree options: the J.D., M.S. in Nursing and Pharm.D. We also offer degree options that combine a J.D. with programs including the M.S. in Criminal Justice, M.S. in Negotiations and Conflict Management, M.P.A. and more. For a full list, visit ubalt.edu/programs.

The University of Baltimore’s online programs and courses offer the same content, rigor and collaboration between faculty and students as you would find in a face-to-face class on campus.

No. 1 in Maryland for working adults

Washington Monthly, 2018

“ What makes UB different is that, as a student, you actually learn from other stu-dents almost as much as you learn from your professors. UB stresses the idea that working together, respecting others and helping others is vital to being a productive member in our society. It’s a culture that you don’t truly understand or appreciate until you enroll here.”

EDWARD SHIELDS, J.D./M.S. in Criminal Justice student

ONLINE EXPERIENCEAt the University of Baltimore, we offer four degree programs—including our nationally ranked M.P.A. and MBA—and one certificate program fully online.

UB students’ life experiences bring a rich dynamic and depth; they demand a learning experience that’s not traditional. Classes are combined with hands-on learning, getting you out into the work-force and applying what you’ve learned to enrich your experience and ensure you graduate with more than a degree.

“ Our daily life relies on information technology more than ever before. We use cell phones to communicate with people, email for working and the ‘internet of things’ to build a smart home.

Our M.S. in Forensic Science—High Technology Crime is designed to help students learn how to reconstruct a digital crime scene by acquiring, preserving and analyzing evidence in digital devices. Our program emphasizes hands-on labs and utilizes various commercial and open-source forensic tools to investigate digital crimes.”

“ I love the fact that at UB, you don’t just learn the materials from the textbooks, but you also apply what you learn into the real world. Experi-ence is the best teacher. I’m very grateful for the education and support from both faculty and staff I received at UB. I felt as though I wasn’t a Social Security Number, but that they knew who I was and I mattered.”
