Prospective Students
Applying to graduate school can be a daunting task that requires considerable preparation and organization on your part. A thorough review of our “procedures and requirements” section, however, can help you navigate this process
Please note that admission to our graduate programs is highly competitive; for best consideration, you should submit accurate and complete credentials by the specified deadline. In fact, we encourage our applicants to begin preparing their application packages (collecting recommendations, obtaining transcripts and taking standardized tests) a year in advance of the published deadline dates.
The graduate application and selection process is a two-part process. Candidates apply to the Graduate School which shares your credentials with a specific degree program concurrently. The degree program then makes a recommendation to the Graduate School which reviews this decision and issues the letter of the final determination.
Admission to graduate study at the University of Maryland, Baltimore resides with the Office of the Dean, Graduate School.
