FROM RESEARCHING TO RESEARCHER: MENTORING IS KEY

At UMBC, you’ll find that your professors are more than lecturers— they’re mentors who will get to know you and work alongside you to help you achieve your goals. Mentors are able to create a safe environment where students can explore their interests in research and determine their path for the future. These mentors have deep and long-lasting impact on the students who work with them, and the students’ creativity and fresh perspectives inspire their mentors.

The TRANSFER STUDENT ALLIANCE (TSA) )is a member benefit program for Maryland community college students interested in transferring to UMBC, including UMBC-Shady Grove. From day one, our TSA members enjoy a number of benefits, such as an application fee waiver, a tuition discount for one concurrent enrollment course per semester, joint-programming and advising, and eligibility for merit scholarships and on-campus housing.
