UB's Programs at the Universities at Shady Grove

The University of Baltimore's Yale Gordon College of Liberal Arts offers undergraduate, master's and doctoral programs at the Universities at Shady Grove in a variety of convenient weekday, weekend and online formats.

The University System of Maryland developed the Universities at Shady Grove to offer upper-level and graduate programs at a single Montgomery County facility in Rockville, Md.

Classes in UB's programs at USG are taught by the same recognized UB faculty who teach at the Baltimore campus. Students graduate with a UB degree that is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. As a UB student attending USG, you pay the same tuition and have the same financial aid opportunities as does any other UB student, but you may pay differing fees based on your home campus.

The Universities at Shady Grove campus provides all of the services and facilities you need for a successful university career, including academic advising, career services, disability support services, library and media support facilities and tutoring.
