THROUGH RESEARCH .

We believe that research is an important key to making big change in our world. That’s why we create unparalleled opportunities for you to get involved in our labs and research projects here on campus. Working alongside professors and graduate students, you’ll lead the design and implementation of creative and challenging research projects. That independence will propel you forward as you develop your identity as a researcher.

UMBC is among institutions in the nation that have reached the highest level of research performance, known as R1 (Research 1).

HOW YOU’LL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Our students research and publish across every academic discipline, and they make real discoveries and change in the world as a result. Here is a handful of the topics they study:

— Restoring Forests Around the World

— The Evolution of Korean Art

— Support for Families Experiencing Trauma

— Artificial Intelligence and its Ability to Impact Business

— The Intersection of LGBTQ and Faith-Based Identities

— Laser-Based Technology to Detect IEDs and Other Combat Zone Hazards

— Options in Social Work Delivery

“HAVING UNDERGRADUATES IN THE LAB HAS EXTENDED OUR CAPABILITY TO ASK MORE COMPLEX QUESTIONS THAN WE WOULD OTHERWISE TAKE ON.”
