The school is best known for the dedication each professor has in getting their students to go above and beyond in their studies, hence why UMBC is known as the "Honors University" of Maryland.
Fonjia
UMBC is best known for its ambition to stay as one of the country's highest ranked schools in this area. Professors here are focused on education before anything, and prepare students for the outside world. While there are two campuses, one is just for those who are in specific majors and cannot make it to the main campus. Both have the same teachers, and the same curriculum. It is a great name to add to anyone's resume, and the counselors are geared toward helping you.

UMBC is an engineering institute and has many research opportunities in that field. If one were to attend UMBC in search of a refined liberal arts program they should reconsider and search elsewhere. UMBC provides an exceptional level of education and rational thought to students for a relatively low price.

UMBC is best known for its academics, gaining knowledge, career-related goals, and research. If you're looking for a party school, this is not it. The students here, most of them anyway, come here to learn and they take their majors seriously and studying is a big part of this school. Almost all of the teachers are very supportive of the students and are willing to help them learn and succeed.
