Community College Transfer Coordinators and Faculty
Each year UMBC welcomes more than 1,200 transfer students to campus, the majority of them from two-year colleges in Maryland. We offer 100+ majors, minors, and certificate programs from the arts and engineering to pre-professional studies and social sciences. Plus, you can make your own path by blending disciplines in creative ways. Explore our majors and programs here: Majors and Programs
UMBC recognizes that the needs of transferring students are different from those of first-year applicants. We hope the information gathered on this page helps answer your questions.

Transfer Credit Evaluation and more with Transfer Central
We know the three biggest questions transfer students ask are:
- How will my credits transfer?
- How long will it take to graduate?
- How much will it cost?
That’s why we’ve created Transfer Central. Rather than simply giving you a list of the courses that typically transfer to UMBC, we’ve gone a step further. This interactive tool will give you real-time credit estimates, best-fit major recommendations, and access to important dates, milestones, and transfer resources that you’ll need along the way.
Shady Grove Center
UMBC offers eligible transfer students the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree in computer science, history, mechanical engineering, political science, psychology, social work, or translational life science technology at Shady Grove. Students spend the first two years at a community college and the final two years at the Shady Grove Center. For more information on applying to the UMBC-Shady Grove program, visit www.umbc.edu/shadygrove.
