专业描述

UMBC is part of one of the greatest concentrations of commercial, cultural and scientific activity in the nation. Nearby federal and state government agencies, national research centers, libraries and museums are resources for scholarly activity. Research is a critical component of the Department of Public Policy’s mission, linking education with public service. Students have the opportunity, and are in fact encouraged, to work with faculty members on research projects. Research activities of faculty and our research centers are supported by federal agencies, private foundations and state and local governments.
