UMBC has repeatedly been recognized as one
of the top national universities “where the
faculty has an unusually strong commitment
to undergraduate teaching.” UMBC was
ranked #6 on U.S. News and World Report’s
Best Colleges Guide’s list of schools with the
“Best Undergraduate Teaching,” along with
such universities as William and Mary,
Berkeley, Princeton, and Brown. UMBC has
also again been named the top national
university for “promising and innovative
changes.” This is the 5th consecutive year
that UMBC has topped the “Up-and-Coming”
list.
UMBC consistently receives recognition for
value, and Times Higher Education named it
one of the top 100 universities worldwide
under 50 years old. CBS’s “60 Minutes” also
featured UMBC, calling it “one of America’s
most innovative colleges.”
