Division of Undergraduate Academic Affairs
Mission
Undergraduate Research and Prestigious Scholarships provides academic support and advising, mentoring, and funding to students involved in research and creative work, or who are preparing to apply for prestigious scholarships. Our mission is to promote engagement and experiential learning that enriches the educational experience of UMBC undergraduates in all disciplines, and promotes a culture of scholarship throughout the university.
Vision
Our students are exposed to opportunities that prepare them to achieve their academic goals and make them competitive candidates for graduate and professional school, employment, and prestigious awards. We contribute to UMBC’s strategic commitment to the twin goals of research and a distinctive undergraduate experience by fostering academic excellence both inside and outside of the classroom.
Shared Values
As a unit of the Division of Undergraduate Academic Affairs, we are committed to UMBC’s core values of diversity, integrity, social responsibility, and lifelong learning. We define excellence in higher education through an inclusive culture that connects innovative teaching and learning, research across disciplines, and civic engagement. We reach together to help students explore every angle of their research and academic goals, and extend beyond the classroom to empower them to claim their futures.
