Why Maryland?
Achieving the extraordinary to transform life and lives is in our DNA. At the University of Maryland, we have never been afraid to think big, never shied away from bold moves, powerful actions or doing what‘s right, rather than what's easy. And we never stand still. As the state’s flagship institution, we’ve always moved fearlessly forward—propelling discovery, driving progress and transforming life and lives across Maryland and around the world.
