The University of Baltimore is
Baltimore's University
Known as "Baltimore's UniverSity," the UniverSity of
Baltimore credits its location in the heart of the vital
midtOwn section of Baltimore for the quality of its programs
and its role in the higher education community.
The City environment provides a laboratory that is
both accessible and challenging to our students. The
location and the role of the univerSity in the cultural,
pOlitical, civic, social, and corporate communities provides
opportunities for exploration and growth and cultivates
a spirit of independence, experimentation and
discovery that traditional classroom instruction cannOt
provide.
The univerSity is situated in Baltimore's Mt. Royal
Center, in the revitalized Charles Street corridor. This
area, conveniently reached from the Jones Falls Expressway,
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and other major
arteries into the city, is experiencing a cultural and
commercial resurgence. In addition to the University of
Baltimore, the Maryland Institute, College of Art, the
Lyric Opera House, Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, and the
Theatre Project attract thousands of people to the
neighborhood every week for concerts, plays, films and
e;"hibits. Artscape, Baltimore's annual festival of the viS·
ual and performing arts, is held each summer in Mt.
Royal Center with some events at the university. Gor·
don Plaza, the park·like setting on the corner of Mt.
Royal and Maryland Avenues, is the center for numerous
university·sponsored outdoor events and activities.
Poe's Publick House, the dining and conference center
located in the Law Center, has become the site of meetings
and social functions for the university community
as well as for civic, professional, and community groups
in the city and the neighborhood. The renowned Walters
Art Gallery, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the
City Life Museums are convenient to the univerSity.

4
Enhancing the "culture corridor" of Mt. Royal Center
is the final stage of a major commercial revitalization in
the area. Many new shops, delis, and specialty restaurants
in the area offer pleasant opportunities for
between-class excursions, and for those students with a
little extra time after class, the Inner Harbor area, with
its many stores, restaurants, and entertainment attractions,
is just minutes away.
But the advantages of the university's metropolitan
location transcend the cultural and educational opportunities.
With a 65-year history as an urban educational
institution, the university has developed strong affiliations
with the business, government, and professional
communities of Baltimore City. The fact that more than
22,000 UofB alumni presently live and work in the metropolitan
area is testimony to the institution'S long success
in preparing its graduates for productive professional
and civic lives. The achievements of these alumni
have helped to build tbe university's outstanding reputation
in the employment community. Today, this reputation
is enhanced by growing numbers of university faculty
who supplement their teaching with research,
consulting, and service activities in the private and public
sectors.
Together, UofB alumni and faculty have created an
interaction between the city and the university that is
unequaled by any other undergraduate institution in
Baltimore. And for the professionally-oriented student,
this means an educational experience that complements
personal and professional goals as no other can.
Commitment to Liberal Learning
A humanities-centered, interdisciplinary core curriculum
is required of all undergraduate students. In these
core courses, students examine the relationship
between ethics and values, on the one hand, and business
and public policy, on the other; they study in-depth
a contemporary culture other than their own; they
investigate the role and nature of the American city;
they acquire first-hand knowledge of Baltimore's rich .
cultural and educational resources; and they trace major
themes and ideas in philosophy and the arts. In sum,
they develop the ability to integrate knowledge from a
variety of disciplines. Throughout the core, students are
assisted in refining their skills in critical thinking and
oral and written communication.
The core courses include:
lOIS 300 Ideas in Writing
lOIS 301 World Cultures
lOIS 302 Business and Society
One of the following
lOIS 303 The Modern City
lOIS 304 Arts and Ideas
Accreditation
The University of Baltimore is accredited by the
Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools, the Maryland State Board of Education, and the
American Bar ASSOCiation and holds membership in the
Association of American Law Schools.
The university is also recognized by the Maryland
State Board of Law Examiners; the Maryland State Bo rd
of Examiners of Public Accountants; many city, state,
and federal agencies for civil service appointments; the
Veterans Administration for training of veterans; the
Armed Forces for officer appointments; and the Offie
of the Attorney General of the United States of America
for acceptance of foreign students.
While the university does not maintain a department
of education and does not offer course work in education,
graduates can be certified to teach in the public
and private secondary and elementary schools of the
state of Maryland if they have pursued elsewhere the
proper subject matter and education courses, including
practice teaching. This opportunity is made possible
through cooperative arrangements with neighboring
institutions which specialize in education.
The Robert G. Merrick School of Business' undergraduate
and graduate programs are accredited by the
American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business
(AACSB). AACSB accreditation is the mark of exceller:ce
in educational programs in business, awarded only
when rigorous standards for courses, curricula, faculty,
and resources have been met. The University of
Baltimore was the first institution in metropolitan
Baltimore to have met these standards for undergrad:.!ate
programs.

The graduate program, Master of Public Administration
(MPA), under the direction of the Yale Gordon College
of Liberal Arts, is accredited by the National Association
of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration
(NASPAA). The MPA program, which is offered by the
Department of Government and Public Administration,
was found to be in substantial conformity with NASPAA
standards for professional master's degree programs in
public administration. NASPAA evaluation is based on
the following criteria: quality of faculty, content of the
curriculum, policies for admiSSion, library and computer
facilities, and placement opportunities for students.
The Master of Public Administration program is
the first and only MPA program in the state to receive
this recognition.
Alumni
The University of Baltimore Alumni Association, Inc.
was organized to assist, to strengthen, and to support
the interests of the university and its work, and to establish
relations mutually beneficial to the university, its
students, and its alumni.
Each graduate of the University of Baltimore is
granted permanent membership in the association at
the time the degree or certificate is conferred. Each
graduate is issued a membership card, which entitles
himlher to participate in a variety of university-sponsored
events and to benefit from alumni services. In
addition, all alumni receive the university's Newsmagazine
and other publications. The alumni are requested
to support the fundraising campaigns conducted by the
Development Office for the University of Baltimore
Educational Foundation, Inc.
During the year the association sponsors several
activities including the annual Alumnus of the Year
Awards event at which time graduates are honored for
their dedicated service to the asSOCiation, the univerSity,
and the community.
Students are invited to visit the Alumni Office and to

often taken for lower-division core courses, credit for
them will not be granted once the student has completed
90 credit hours.
FOREIGN TRANSCRIPTS
The University of Baltimore does not evaluate foreign
transcripts. Applicants who attended a college or univerSity
outside of the United States must arrange at their
own expense to have their academic records evaluated
by a U.S. credentials evaluation service. The evaluation
process takes a mi nimum of four weeks. Certified
English translations must accompany transcripts in a
language other than English. More information and
appropriate forms may be obtained from the International
Student Advisor in the Admissions Office. The
university also may require some applicants to provide
additional information such as syllabi and course
descriptions.

Applicants who are non-native speakers of English
must demonstrate a satisfactory level of English proficiency.
A minimum score of 550 on the Test of Enghsh
as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of both
degree and non-degree applicants, regardless of citizenship
or visa status. Applicants who have completed 56
or more credits, including English Composition, at an
accredited college or university in the U.S. are exempt
from the TOEFL requirement. TOEFL information may
be obtained from the Educational Testing Service, Box

estabhshed in Maryland for a purpose independent of
anendance at a state institution. In general, to qualify as
a resident for tuition purposes for any given semester,
an individual must have maintained hislher domicile in
Maryland for at least six months immediately prior to
the last date available for initial registration for that
semester at the university. A change in domicile status
must be requested by a student prior to the registration

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS/
FOREIGN TRANSCRIPTS
The University of Baltimore welcomes application
from qualified international students. Applicants wh
are not citizens of the United States are considered
international students for the purpose of admission.
Admissions requirements for degree and non-degree
study may vary depending upon the applicant's educational
background and visa status.
Students who submit transcripts from an instituti n
outside of the United States should refer to the section
on "Foreign Transcripts." Students who are non-native
speakers of English should refer to the section on

status because non-degree programs at the Unive rsity
of Baltimore generally do not allow for full-time
study.
International applicants, particularly those submirting
foreign academic credentials and those reSiding OV(:'Tseas,
are advised to apply well in advance of the semester
for which they are seeking admission: June 1 for fall ,
November 1 for spring, and March 1 for summer.

Academic Advising
625-3250 (Business) 625-3233 (Liberal Arts)
The university is committed to academic excellence
and student success, therefore, a professional staff of
academic advisors is available in each of the colleges
within the University of Baltimore. A student should
meet with hislher advisor prior to each registration
period to assure that the student is making proper academic
decisions and progressing toward the degree. In
many cases an advisor's signature is required for registration
clearance. It is important that each student
become familiar with hislher advisor and take advantage
of the in-depth knowledge of the various academic programs
and policies.
A student should make an appointment to see an advisor
prior to withdrawing from the university, even if the
withdrawal is anticipated to be temporary.
Students are urged to take any neccessary writing or
math placement examinations prior to registering for
their first semester at the university in order to assist
the advisor in planning a program of study and to
ensure that all requirements are completed on schedule.
Students required to take Jdeas in Writing, General
College Math, Finite Math, or Math for Liberal Arts must
take placement exams to ensure that they have the
skills neccessary for success. Preparatory courses are
provided for and required of students lacking prerequisite
skills. It is essential that students take the necessary
math and writing exams early in their academic career
since taking the preparatory courses late can delay
graduation. (See the Schedule of Classes for more specific
information as well as testing times and locations.)
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADVISING
All students are encouraged to meet on a regular
basis with the Dean's Office academic counselors to dJscuss
general program and course requirements and
semester schedules, and with their department chairperson
or faculty advisor to discuss specific program
and course requirements.

counselors when:
- Enrolling in the Merrick School of Business for the
first time.
- Returning to the Merrick School of Business after
any fall or spring semester of non-enrollment.
- Changing their area of specialization within the
Merrick School of Business.
- Registering as a non-degree student.
- Returning to the Merrick School of Business on academic
probation.
All new students who transfer to the UniverSity of
Baltimore must have their first semester registration
approved by an academic counselor in the Dean's Offlce
prior to registering.
For graduation all degree candidates must complet a
minimum of 120 credits in an approved program of
study with an overall academic average of 2.00 or

I and II.) Undergraduate students may not register
for graduate courses, except those students approved
for the accelerated bachelor's/master's program.
Although the program advisor will assist the student
in planning hislher program, each student must assume
responsibility for knowing the curriculum requirements
and for seeing that those requirements are mel.
Upon completing 85-90 credits, contact the Merrick
School of Business Dean's Office academic counselors
for a formal graduation check-off evaluation.

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS ADVISING

625-3333
REGISTRATION REMINDER
A postcard reminder with registration and other
important academic information is sent to current students
each semester. This is a service to assure students
of priority treatment in the registration process.
SCHEDULE OF CLASSES
The schedule of classes booklet, published prior to
advance registration each semester, is the official record
of the class offerings for that semester. The schedule
contains current information, courses, registration
dates, university policies, academic calenda.r, and the
necessary information to plan for the semester. The
schedule of classes booklet is available at least one week
prior to the advance registration period.
ADVANCE REGISTRATION
Degree-seeking students are urged to participate in
advance registration which will allow them to register
early for next semester's courses. During this period the
largest number of course sections are open. Participating
in advance registration will assure graduating students
the greatest flexibility in scheduling classes for
their final semester at the university. New students who
have been officially accepted by the Admissions Office
prior to the registration period may also register at
advance registration.
Registration is continuous from the initial date
announced in the schedule of classes booklet through
the bill payment period. Schedule adjustments, such as
add/drop, may be done during this period.
During advance registration, the student will submit a
completed course request card and have the course
selection confirmed. He/she will be mailed a class
schedule and a statement of fees at the end of the registration
period. Registration will be completed if payment
is made by the specified payment deadline. If payment
is not made on time, the registration will be
voided and the student must register during walk-in
registration.
WALK-IN REGISTRATION
Walk-in registration allows students to register immediately
prior to the beginning of an academic term.
Enrollment is limited to the space available in courSES
after advance registration has been completed. Days and
times of walk-in registration are published in the schedule
of classes booklet.
Non-degree seeking students are assigned a specific
time to register during walk-in registration. This tim4.: is
limited to the last day of walk-in registration and is
listed in the schedule of classes booklet.
LATE REGISTRATION
During the first week of the semester (and the equivalent
period during the summer term), late registrat- n
is held. An additional late registration fee is required.
This is the student'S last opportunity to register for
classes in a semester. It is important to note that classes
are already in progress and the student will have to
make up work that has been missed.

WITHDRAWAL-ADMISSIONS AND
REGISTRATION STATUS
Students who register for the fall or spring semester
but withdraw completely before the end of the late registration
period are not considered to be enrolled for
that semester. Students who withdraw after the end of
the late registration will be considered to be enrolled
for that semester. Students who do nOt enroll for more
than three consecutive semesters excluding summer
sessions, must file for readmission and pay a readmission
fee. See "Continuous Enrollment/Leave of Absence"
under the Academic Policies section.

Academic Policies

S. A student who has been placed on academic probation
because of failing the same course twice or failing
three different courses at least once must satisfactorily
meet the conditions prescribed in the office of the
appropriate academic dean in order to clear probation.
If the student does not meet those conditions satisfactorily,
he/she will be suspended.
6. A student who is suspended must remain out of the
University of Baltimore for at least one semester and
may not attend summer sessions until cleared from suspension
by the appropriate academic dean. With prior
written approval of the dean a student may take remedial
work at the university's Academic Resource Center
or at another institution during the time of suspension.
7. The student should remember that reinstatement at
the University of Baltimore is not automatic; the student
must request reinstatement according to the procedure
set in hislher school. A letter requesting readmission
must be submitted to the appropriate academic dean's
office by October 15 for the spring semester; by April
15 for the fall semester; or by March 15 for the summer
session.
8. If the student is suspended for academic or other
defiCiencies, he/she must meet the requirements of the
new catalog in effect when he/she returns if he/she is
admitted as a degree student. A student returning from
suspension must receive advising and be cleared by the
appropriate academic dean's office before registering.
9. A student suspended for a deficient GPA, if readmitted,
must achieve for the first 12 hours attempted after
re-entry a GPA of at least 2.5 or an overall cumulative
average of 2.0 or higher. Failure to do so will result in
immediate dismissal. The reinstated student who has
not attained a cumulative GPA of 2.0 after these 12
attempted hours must do so by the time the student has
attempted 27 hours after re-entering the university. In
any case, the reinstated student must attain a cumulative
GPA of 2.0 by the time he/she has attempted 27
hours after re-entering the university.
10. A student suspended for failing to meet the conditions
for removal of F grades (see item 5, above), if readmitted,
must satisfy the requirements stipulated by the
dean for remaining in good standing.
CLEP EXAl\1INATION POLICY
29
CLEP tests are most often taken for lower-division
core courses. Therefore, CLEP scores are acceptable for
credit before the completion of 90 credit hours. Once
the student has begun the last 30 credits of study, CLEP
scores are no longer acceptable for credit. The maximum
number of credits that will be accepted by the
University of Baltimore tOward degree requirements
from non-direct classroom instruction (including
CLEP) is 30
GRADES
Each semester students will receive a report of their
grades for courses taken. Any student whose name
appears on a grade roster, regardless of the length of his/
her attendance in the class will receive for each course
attempted one of the grades listed below. If, however,
the student withdraws officially from a course during
the first week of classes, hislher name will not appear
on the grade roster, nor will the transcript show the
course.
All grades are given solely on the basis of an instructor's
judgement of a student's scholarly attainment.
Only grades earned at the University of Baltimore or
as pari of an approved cooperative program will be
included as part of a student'S official GPA.

or the third week of an eight week summer session.
After the deadline for withdrawal, a student who
believes that unanticipated extenuating circumstan·
ces-such as health problems or a change of employment-make
a withdrawal necessary should submit a
written appeal, accompanied by supporting documentation,
to the appropriate dean. An adminjstrative symbol

CONTINUING
CS STUDIES
Grade given when it is known at the outset of the
course that requirements for its completion will necessarily
extend beyond the end of the semester. This
grade is assigned at the discretion of the instructor, for
specifically-designated courses only. Petition for CS
grade must be filed with instructor prior to the examination
period in the semester in which the grade of CS
is to be received.
I INCOMPLETE
Grade given when a student is temporarily prevented
from completing required course work by unanticipated
extenuating Circumstances, such as illness or major
changes in the demands of a job. A petition, signed by
the student, the instructor, and the appropriate dean,
must be filed with the instructor, who will then submit
the petition to the registrar with the grade roster for the
course. U a grade of I is not removed by the first day of
the last month of the semester following its receipt, an
F grade will be automatically assigned, regardless o '
whether or not the student is currently enrolled at the
university. A graduating student must remove an I grade
within 60 calendar days after the last day of hislher last
semester; otherwise, hislher graduation application will
be withdrawn at that time and another application :nust
be submitted for the following semester.

32
REPEATED COURSES
While a student may repeat any course in which
he/she has received a grade of D or F (but not C or
higher), he/she may replace two grades only, each in a
different course. Ifa second attempt is to replace a
grade, the replacement grade will be calculated into the
student's grade point average (GPA), regardless of
whether it is higher or lower than the original grade.
The grade for the replacement attempt will appear on
the transcript within the semester in which the course
is repeated. Students repeating courses to replace
grades do so at their risk. For example, a student repeating
a D graded course who receives an F for the second
attempt will lose the points earned for the D, and the F
will be the grade that will be computed into the GPA.
Further, if the student receives a W (withdrawn) for the
second attempt, the W will not replace the original
grade.
If a second attempt is meant to replace a grade, a student
must file a repeat course form at the time he/she
registers for the second attempt. Failure to obtain the
dean's approval and file the repeat course form for each
of the twO allowed replacements will result in both the
original and the repeated grades being computed into
the GPA.
[f a student repeats a course that is not for replacement
of a grade, then a repeat course form does not
need to be filed. [n such cases, the grade achieved in
the original course, as well as the grade(s) in the retaking
of the course, will be calculated in the student's
GPA . Students should be aware that the earning of D or
F grades which are computed into the GPA may result
in their being placed on probation, suspended, or academically
dismissed. See "Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory
Progress" under the Academic Policies section.
D and F grades earned at the University of Baltimore
must be repeated at the University of Baltimore. Grades
will not be changed on the baSis of work taken elsewhere.
The repeated course must be the original
course; a substitute course will not be acceptable for a
grade change.
The credit value of any repeated course will be
counted one time only at the University of Baltimore to
satisfy graduation requirements at the University of
Baltimore.
Students with repeat grades are not eligible
for honors designation at the University of
Baltimore.
WITHDRAWAL FROM CLASS
No student will be permitted to withdraw for any
reason from a class during the last week of school prior
to the beginning of the scheduled exam period. Students
withdrawing from a class or classes during th
period between the last day for dropping courses wthout
academic penalty and the beginning of the last
week of school prior to exams, must have such withdrawals
approved by both their instructor(s) and
respective dean. Veterans or students receiving any ind
of financial aid who withdraw from class at any tim
during the school year must have written permissic on
the withdrawal form from the Financial Aid Office t
the time of withdrawal. These regulations apply to the
summer session as well.
CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENTILEAVE
OF ABSENCE
An undergraduate student has seven years to complete
the bachelor'S degree requirements at the Univer­
Sity of Baltimore after enrolling as a degree student.
Degree-seeking students are expected to register for
courses each semester (excluding summer) on a continuous
basis to maintain the degree requirements in
effect at the time of their initial enrollment.
The university recognizes, however, that a student
may encounter circumstances which require a temp orary
interruption of studies. Under such circumsta es,
the student may be absent for as long as two conse u ­
tive semesters (excluding summer) without jeopardizing
his/her continuous enrollment status.
[f a student feels that it is necessary to be absent for
more than twO consecutive semesters (excluding summer),
he/she must receive an approved leave of absence
in order to maintain continuous enrollment to be eligible
for degree requirements in effect at the time of initial
enrollment. To be considered for a leave of abse nce,
a student must make a request to the appropriate dean's
office in advance of the third semester's absence. l"pon
reviewing the reasons for the request, the dean may
grant an approved leave of absence. A document granting
permission for such a leave must be placed in the
student'S academic folder maintained in the Records
Office.
[f a student who is absent for more than two co secutive
semesters does not obtain an approved leave

absence, he/she will be required to apply for re-admission
and pay a re-application fee before being permitted
to re-enroll. A student who applies for re-admission
must fulfill the admission and degree
requirements set forth in the catalog in effect at the
time he/she returns to the university.
There is no limit to the number of times a student
may be absent from the university and still maintain
continuous enrollment status. However, the semesters
in which a student fails to enroll will be counted
toward the seven-year limit for degree requirements.
If a student is absent from the university and has not
maintained continuous enrollment status, the sevenyear
time period for completion of new degree requirements
will begin when the student is readmitted to the
university. A student should read closely the "Catalog
Under Which Students Graduate" in this section for
information concerning whether credit hours more
than seven years old will be applied toward graduation
requirements.
COURSE WORK TAKEN ELSEWHERE AFTER
ENROLLMENT
After a student has enrolled at the UniverSity of Baltimore,
transfer credit for courses taken elsewhere will
be granted only in extraordinary cases, and only with
the prior written approval of the appropriate dean at the
University of Baltimore.
This written approval must be contained in the official
student folder maintained in the Records Office.
ACADEMIC CLEMENCY
Undergraduate students returning to the University of
Baltimore after a minimum five-year separation and
who, upon returning, make satisfactory progress for
their first nine credit hours may petition the appropriate
academic dean to have a maximum of 15 credits of
the previously earned grades and credits removed from
the calculation of their cumulative grade point averages
(GPAs). The excluded grades and credits will be noted
on academic transcripts with XC (excluded credits).
Students must file the petition for excluded credits
with the appropriate dean prior to the completion of 12
credit hours after returning to the university. Excluded
credit decisions are final, and may not be changed.
Approval of the petition is not automatic or guaranteed.
CATALOG UNDER WHICH STUDENTS
GRADUATE
The requirements for graduation for an undergraduate
student at the University of Baltimore are those
listed in the catalog which is current at the time the student
first becomes a candidate for an undergraduate

and spring semester) from the time of first enrollment
until graduation.
2. The student must not take longer than seven calendar
years to complete the junior and senior years at the
University of Baltimore after enrolling as a degree candidate.
Credit hours accumulated in the major (area of
specialization) ancllor upper division core that are older

the graduatiOn requirements, except upon approval of
the major department chair and academic dean.
3. If the student is suspended for academic or other
deficiencies, he/she must meet the requirements of the
new catalog in effect upon returning and being admitted
as a degree candidate.
4. If the student changes from one program ancllor
major to another, the graduation requirements are those
listed in the catalog which is current at the time he/she
becomes a degree candidate in the new program or

S. If the student wishes to attend another institution
or must drop out of the university temporarily because
of family problems, sickness, or other difficulties, he/she
may request in writing a leave of absence and permission
to re-enter under his/her original catalog course
requirements; however, the student will be governed,
upon his/her return, according to the academic and
administrative policies and procedures listed in the
catalog in effect at the time of re-entry.
Such cases will be handled on an individual basis,
-depending on the student'S progress up to that pOint,
grades, the program and the length of absence from the
univerSity. If a leave of absence is granted, a letter of
written permission signed by the dean must be placed
in the student's academic folder maintained in the
Records Office.

ATTENDANCE
Students are urged to attend classes regularly. When,
in the instructor's judgment, a student has been absent
or late so often that he/she has lost a significant part of
the instruction which will prevent the issuance of a
valid grade, the instructor may submit to the dean a
request in writing that the student be withdrawn
administratively from the class roll.

DEFERRED PAYMENT PLAN
Normally, tuition is payable in advance for the semester.
The University of Baltimore does offer a plan of
deferred payments for students registering for five or
more credit hours. There is an administrative charge of
SIO for handling the deferred payment plan. Approximately
one-half of the total charges for the term is due
at registration, with one-fourth due the first of each of
the two succeeding months. This plan is not offered
during summer terms. Since credits and refunds are
based upon the full charges for the semester and not
upon the amount paid under the deferred payment plan,
there is no advantage in the use of deferred payments
except in cases of necessity. A schedule of deferred payments
appears each semester in the schedule of classes

When you withdraw from a course or courses or
from the university, you are required to file a written
notice of your withdrawal with the Office of Records

Cial withdrawal rests with the student. The computation
of such credits or refunds will be based upon the date of
filing of the formal notice of withdrawal, and not on the
date when you stopped attending class(es). If you have
any questions concerning the computation of the
refund, please contact the Business Office.
When you officially withdraw prior to the beginning
or completion of a semester, the financial obligatiOn is

FIELD OF STUDY
Accounting (ACCT)
See Course Descriptions section for individual course
descriptions.
The bachelor's program offering a specialization in
accounting is designed towards careers in the accounting
profession. Flexibility is built into the program so
that students are prepared for employment in the public,
private or governmental sectors. Additionally,
courses leading towards a position in the accounlancy
field prepare Ihe sludenl for Ihe rigors of Ihe CPA and
Cl'vlA exams.
57
The need for advanced education in accounting is
continually becoming more evident. The American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants has noted that
mastery of the body of knowledge will require five
years of college study for the Uniform Certified Public
Accountant Examination. The Institute of Management
Accounting administers a rigorous examination leading
to the Certificate in Management Accounting; the content
of this examination also indicates the need for
advanced accounting education. Likewise, accountants
working in industry, government and public accounting
are increasingly being called upon to assist in making
complex business decisions. The depth and range of
knowledge needed to bear this responsibility and to
perform competently in our complex socio-technical
economy will continue to require individuals with
advanced graduate education.
(continued on next page)

Any student awarded an undergraduate degree from
the University of Baltimore may apply appropriate UniverSity
of Baltimore courses tOward a certificate program
if that certificate program does not parallel his/
her area of specialization for the bachelor's degree. In
addition, he/she may also apply a maximum of six
appropriate credits earned at another college tOward
that certificate, but the final 30 credits must be satisfied
at the University of Baltimore.
Conversely, a student completing the certificate program
may not apply appropriate UofB courses toward a
B.S. in Business Administration degree if the area of specialization
parallels the certificate program.
Graduate students who wish to take undergraduate
courses toward a certificate program should contact the

FIELDS OF STUDY
Finance (FIN), Economics (ECON). See Course Descrip·
tion section for individual course descriptions.
The Department of Economics and Finance is respon·
sible for curriculum in the fields of economics and
finance.
The primary task of the department is to prepare stu·
dents for successful professional careers. Toward this
end the focus is on developing students' ability to con·
ceptualize and analyze problems. Students receiving a
degree through the Department of Economics and
Finance are prepared for career opportunities with
industrial corporations, financial institutions, and gov·
ernmental and educational organizations. Specific areas
in which they might be employed (depending on their
particular concentration) include economic forecasting,
pricing and cost analysis, capital investment analysis,
working capital management, security analysis, port·
folio management, corporate real estate management,
corporate risk management, and various management
staff positions with financial institutions.
Regardless of the student's primary area of interest,
the Department of Economics and Finance believes that
an understanding of the economic/financial forces and
interdependencies in today's world is essential for every
educated person. Throughout our lives we all must
make frequent decisions affecting our economic well·
being. Real estate, insurance, and personal investment
choices affect our wealth. Political decisions bearing on
taxes, urban development, labor laws, pollution control,
and countless others, all economic in nature, affect the
quality of our life. The department offerings will pre·
pare the student regardless of major, to cope with these
issues and to make better choices when confronted
with them.

FIELDS OF STUDY
Business Law (BULA) and Management (MGMT). See
Course Description section for individual course
descriptions.
The Department of Management seeks to help students
build their managerial knowledge and ability by
exposing them to concepts involved in the solution of
human, organizational and business problems. Nearly all
forms of activity in an organization involve some form
of management of employees, finances, raw materials or
information. Managers must be creative people who can
motivate and guide dozens or even hundreds of people
in the achievement of organizational goals. They are the
leaders who establish departmental objectives, plans
and procedures, and who orchestrate the work of their
subordinates and ultimately the produCtivity of their
organizations.
The Management Department curricula emphasize
the importance of understanding the business enviro:1ment
and how it is affected by social, political, and eco·
nomic events and trends. Students learn the skills and
responsibilities of management with a particular emphasis
on the influence managers can exercise on changing
conditions, productivity, morale, and attitudes. Accorcingly,
the goal of the management program is to teach
the student to become an efficient, well-rounded manager
who is capable of assessing the work situation, initiating
proper action, and achieving objectives under a
multitude of conditions in business and public enterprises.
Clearly, the art and science of management is not
restricted merely to job-related functions but also can
be applied to everyday situations.
The Department of Management offers two areas of
specialization: management and business administration.
A student choosing the Management specializat!on
will be able to specialize in a particular functional area
such as human resource management, labor relations,
production, or service operations. The Management specialization
has been articulated with programs at other
colleges in hotel-motel hospitality, restaurant, fire protection
technology, construction management, and
administration for nurses.
All of these special degree programs require appr
priate specializations in Management. The specialization
in Business Administration is a generalist program far
the individual entrepreneur or the student planning
graduate work in I.aw or business. It is designed to fo.:us
on the overall operations of the organization.

Special Undergraduate Programs
At the undergraduate level, the Merrick School of
Business offers a number of special programs, including
the B.S. in business administration with a specialization
in jurisprudence, and the B.S. in Business Administration
with a specialization in administration for nurses.
B.S. in Business
Administration, Specialization
in Jurisprudence
Angela Cox, Advisor
DESCRIPTION
The Merrick School of Businessoffers a joint program
for students who wish to obtain both business and law
degrees: the B.S_ in Business Administration with a specialization
in jurisprudence.
A student in the Merrick School of Business may earn
the Bachelor of Science degree with a specialization in
jurisprudence (in lieu of one of the usual areas of business
speCialization, for example, management or
finance) if he/she is accepted into the University of Baltimore
School of Law at the end of hislher junior year
(or the completion of a minimum of 90 appropriate
credit hours of work). Full-time students will thus be
able to finish their studies in both business and law
within a Six-year period_Students with a cumulative
grade point average of 3.0 or higher may declare juriSprudence
as their area of specialization at the time of
transfer to the University of Baltimore, or may change
their area of specialization to jurisprudence at a later
time (if they previously declared other specialization
areas such as accounting, management, marketing, etc.).
Application to the School of Law may not be made prior
to the junior year, and approval must be secured from
the dean of the Merrick School of Business before application
is made. If then admitted to the School of Law,
the student will be allowed to count the 30 hours of
work taken in the first year of law school as hislher
major area of specialization for the B.S_degree. The
combined undergraduate Merrick School of Business
and School of Law programs enable the student to save
one year of academic study. Students in the B.S. and ].:=>.
program may also participate in a combined j.DJMBA
program which allows the student to earn the ].D. and
MBA degrees with fewer credits than would normally
be required for both programs_
SCHOOL OF LAW INFORMATION
Refer to the section "Graduate and joint Programs"
for information about the University of Baltimore
School of Law.
ADVISEMENT
Students are urged to meet regularly with their ad\isor.
Enrollment in the undergraduate program of the
School of Business and maintenance of good academic
standing therein do not assure entrance into the School
of Law. Students pursuing the combined program mmt
compete for places in the School of Law with other
applicants, and must present credentials stronger than
those required of an applicant with a baccalaureate
degree. Merrick School of Business required courses are

UNIVERSITY DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Upper Division General Education Core
The University of Baltimore is committed to the
ideals of general education. The new upper-level core
curriculum, which builds on the lower-level general
education requirements, seeks to develop habits of and
tastes for independent thinking by encouraging active
learning and independent investigation, and by helping
students assume responsibility for their own intellectual
development. Our general education program,
which cuts across disciplinary lines, asks students to
confront both the complexity of knowing and the tentativeness
of our knowledge. It also provides the means
for students to exercise control over their lives through
thoughtful response to their political, cultural and,
natural environments.
Students must complete 12 credits of required
courses in the upper-diviSion core with a grade of Cor

in either business or liberal arts should have completed
as part of their work a sufficient general education program.
The following list of requirements is meant to
establish a minimum level of general education courses.
Please keep in mind that these courses represent the
minimum general education requirement at the lower
level. They are not admission requirements, but are
required for graduatiOn from University of Baltimore
baccalaureate programs. We suggest that these courses
be included in the community college program to the
extent possible. However, these courses can be taken at
the University of Baltimore upon transfer.

credits applicable to a degree (senior standing) may
apply for admission to graduate courses. Enrollment in
graduate courses requires the approval of both the student's
department chair and the graduate program
director. A maximum of six hours of graduate credit
may be completed by undergraduate students and
applied to an undergraduate degree.
Graduating seniors with sufficient credits to fulfill
the undergraduate degree without counting the graduate
credits may apply the credits to a graduate degree.
Approval of the appropriate department chair and graduate
program director is required. ·
Undergraduate students taking graduate courses to be
applied to an undergraduate degree will pay normal

B.A.-B.SJMBA PROGRAM
The B.A .-B.S'/MBA program allows students to combine
the intellectual strengths of a traditional liberal
arts major with the practical skills of business courses
as preparation for a Master of Business Administration
program in the Robert G. Merrick School of Business.
Students can major in corporate communication. criminal
justice, English, history, interdisciplinary studies,
political science, psychology, or sociology and take
selected electives from the Merrick School that will provide
them with a background in basic business practices.
These electives also satisfy 15 credit hours of
graduate preparatory courses required for the MBA program.
Participating students need to complete only 42
credits rather than 57 credits normally required of students
who do not have undergraduate business degrees.
B.A.-B.SJMBA Admissions Process
77
To participate in the B.A .-B.S'/MBA program, you must
undergo a two-step admissions process that carefully
tracks qualified students through the course
requirements.
1. To be considered for the program, you should have
a 2.5 grade point average upon transferring to the University
of Baltimore.
1. During the first semester of your senior year, you
should complete the application for admission to the
Merrick School MBA program, submit an official transcript
of any college work you have undertaken at the
University of Baltimore and any other colleges or universities;
and submit your score on the Graduate Management
Admission Test (GMAT) which along with your
grade point average, helps to indicate your ability to do
graduate work. Please refer to the Admissions section of
the current graduate catalog for additional admissions
information.
Benefits of the Program
The B.A.-B.S.IMBA program offers several important
benefits. First, the program enhances your employability.
The MBA is the degree of choice for management
careers. In addition, you receive your MBA education at
the only public institution in Baltimore to have
achieved the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools
of Business accreditation. You also bri ng to your career
the broadly-based knowledge, skills in critical thinking
and effective communication, and the adaptability
inherent in a traditional liberal arts education.
It would normally take an additional semester of fulltime
study to complete the MBA without business
courses at the undergraduate level. You save on tuition
and on the time required to complete your degree.

ADJUNCT FACULTY
Coppola, Deijkers, Gersh, Kirby, Mullen.
The Criminal Justice Department offers an upper
division major and graduate program with course offerings
and specializations in law enforcement, courts, and
corrections. The program stresses a broad understanding
of the social and behavioral SCiences, the institutions
of the criminal justice system, and the development

theory and practice in the study of criminal
behavior and the role of law enforcement agencies,
courts, and correctional institutions. The program
stresses a broad understanding of the social and behavioral
SCiences, the institutions of the criminal justice
system, and the development of methodological tools

UTERATURE
85
The track in literature is designed for students who
plan to pursue graduate work in English or humanities
or to enter law school or a professional field. It is also
planned for those who intend to combine or follow
English with an education degree for a career in teaching
or who wish a broad cultural background of reading,
writing, and ideas. It may be combined with work
in writing to provide a strong, enriched background for
professional work. The track begins with an introduction
to past literature, allows for an emphasis on older
or modern works, trains in ability to critiCize, and concludes
with an advanced seminar. It also allows room
for an independent project or an honors thesis of the
student's choice. Students from this program have gone
on to graduate or professional study at such schools as
Rutgers, American, Duke, the University of Pennsylvania,
the University of Maryland, as well as several law
schools. Others are now teaching in Maryland secondary
schools or community colleges. Many others have
obtained professional positions in industries and ser·
vices. See English core requirements above.

CREATIVE WRITING
The track in creative writing is planned for students
who wish to study writing as a fine art but who also
want practical experience in the literary marketplace
and in production, editing, and publications. The track
begins with basic workshops in technique and style,
moves through a selection of advanced courses focusing
on particular forms of writing, and concludes with a
seminar in which each student concentrates on the
completion and presentation of a special writing project.
The curriculum also includes work in production
courses, such as The Magazine and Writing and Graphics,
in which students learn to produce broadside serks
and other literary publications. Outstanding students
may, with special permission, take courses from the
graduate program in Publications Design during their
senior year. Exciting possibilities exist for internships
with the Baltimore Sunpapers and The City Paper or for
independent study with a publishing writer. Work in t e
editing and production of Welter, the department's
national literary magazine, is encouraged. The department
also sponsors readings and workshops in fiction,
poetry, and drama conducted by viSiting writers. Students
from this track have gone on to do many thingsfrom
writing for The Sun to editing publications themselves,
such as the Port ofBaltimore Magazine, for
which the editor, who is a former student, and two former
students working with him, recently won the Print
Communication Award offered by the International
Association of Business Communicators. Students have
also continued their studies in creative writing programs
on the graduate level-for example, at The Johns
Hopkins University and the University of Utah-or in
our own master's program in Publications Design,
which offers a creative writing specialization. Creative
writing majors have won national literary awards,
including first prizes (twice) and several honorable
mentions in the National English Honor Society'S poet:)'
contest, and honorable mention in Ms. Magazine's fiction
contest.

PROFESSIONAL WRITING
87
The specialization in professional writing opens up
many possibilities for students. It may prepare them for
careers in which writing skills are essential, such as
adve rtising, public relations, and book, magazine, or
house organ publishing. It may also lead to careers
and/or graduate work in the combined areas of writing
and graphic design or in business. Well·qualified students
may be able to proceed directly into our M.A. program
in PubLications Design. Indeed, outstanding students
may with permiSSion take courses in the graduate
program in their senior year or may enter the Acceler·
ated Bachelor's/Master's Program. Within the professional
writing curriculum, core courses in writing, editing,
and publishing and writing and graphics prepare
students for advanced study in more specialized areas.
Final work includes an internship which may be taken
in the University of Baltimore's or another public relations
office, with an advertising firm, in the communications
division of a corporation, or with a publishing
organization such as The Baltimore Sun, Baltimore
Magazine, or The City Paper. It may also involve deVeloping
professional skills in word processing, typesetting,
layout, or design. Students from this track have
been admitted to graduate programs at Syracuse University,
The Johns Hopkins University. Towson State University,
American UniverSity, and thl: Cniversity of Baltimore.
Others have joined advertising agencies or public
relations staffs in both the private and the public sectors,
sometimes becoming themselves editors of state,
business, or creative publications. See English core
requirements above.

of the ways that ideas and information are presented,
especially through the electronic media. Growing out of
the English program, the track consists of rwo components:
media theory and analysis courses, which provide
background on the interrelationships among information,
technologies, and audiences; and application
courses, which provide an in-depth, hands-on experience
in designing and producing video programs. The
media design track offers students preparation for
careers in a variety of communication settings or for
graduate study. (See English core requirements

THEATRE AND FILM STUDIES
The program in theatre and film studies, new in its
present form this year, combines a critical approach to
theatre and film with hands·on work in production and
writing. The curriculum begins with the study of thea·
tre and film as related creative genres, considers them
tOgether as a form of cultural discourse, and includes
courses in their history, theory, and aesthetics. Produc·
tion courses in theatre and video and an introduction to
writing in both fields complete the specialization. Work
in television may be included as well. Students inter·
ested in performance can gain practical experience
through internships and independent study. Because the
University of Baltimore is located in the heart of a cui·
turally rich environment, within walking distance of a
professional repertory company, a facility which houses
tOuring Broadway productions, an art film house, a professional
opera company, and several community thea·
tres, not to mention many regular movie houses, numer·
ous opportunities of many sorts exist for students. From
the program students gain an introduction to the
worlds of theatre, film, and the other media, as well as a
foundation from which they can move toward careers
or advanced study. (See English Major Requirements
above.)

the Department of English and Communications
Design, prepares students for positions in government,
private industry, and the not-for-profit sector as specialists
in the visual presentation of information. The program
is designed for people who are transferring from
community colleges and four-year schools, as well as for

for career changes. Students enter the program from a
variety of backgrounds, from production areas such as
photography, video, and graphic design, to English and
other liberal arts disciplines. Once in the program, Students

from a foundation of communication theory, corporate
communication students examine and analyze the components
of the communication process-message content,
audiences, and media-and the learning processsocial
learning and modeling, conditioning and
reinforcement, etc. They understand the strengths and
weaknesses of a variety of communication media, from
print, slides, and video, to satellite teleconferencing,
computer graphics, and interactive videodiscs. They
graduate with a working knowledge of how to use these
media to communicate most effectively and responsibly
specific information to specific audiences.

A major in political science provides students with
the opportunity to acquire a broad-based education that
will equip them to adapt to a wide variety of careers.
This is particularly true for students seeking careers in
state and local government, urban planning, corporate
public affairs, the federal bureaucracy, the foreign service,
campaign management, health administration, or
in any of the public and private organizations that monitor
political processes or seek to influence the content
of public policy.
Political science is also a customary undergraduate
major for students preparing for law school, although
no one discipline can best prepare students for that profession.
Specific courses in political science illuminate
the critical relationships between law and politics. The
department regularly offers courses in American Government,
Constitutional Law, Administrative Law,Judicial
Processes, Women in Law and Politics, Public
Administration, and International Law. Such courses
combined with other offerings in political SCience, philosophy,
history, economics, business and English establish
a curriculum that provides the broad-based knowledge
needed by persons entering the legal profession.
Pi Sigma Alpha, the Political Science honor SOCiety,
sponsors speakers, discussion groups, and a Model
United Nations delegation.
The Model United Nations delegations have won
awards at the annual Harvard Model United Nations
competition for the past several years. Students participating
in this activity may receive academiC credit by
enrolling in POSC 469 The United Nations. Each participating
college or university delegation is assigned a UN
member country, which becomes the role country of
the delegation. Students prepare for the delegation roles
under faculty direction by studying the country, its
demographics, its political system and its international
activities. The delegatiOn is then evaluated on how well
it represents that country at the Model United Nations
conference.
Students may also acquire practical experience and
earn up to six credits by taking an internship. Internships
are available with the Maryland State Legislature,
with Congressional offices, with executive offices at
state and local levels, and with the state and local judi­
Ciary. Internships are supervised by a member of the
faculty and designated work site supervisors.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

The Sociology Department offers the B.A. degree in
Sociology, the B.A. degree in Interdisciplinary Studies
with a specialization in Public Assistance, and the M.A.
degree in Sociology. In line with current trends in the
profession, the programs leading to these degrees
emphasize the practiCal applications of knowledge,
although great care is taken to insure that every student
has a sound background in theory and methods.
The Sociology undergraduate curriculum has a strong
emphasis on professional programs and much of it is
interdisciplinary. The student has a choice of several
programs. ( 1 ) The B.A. in Sociology with no specialization
is the department's traditional, non-professional
curricular offering. It emphasizes a classical body of theoretical
thought and a quantitatively scientific approach,
in the context of broadly-based sociological knowledge.
(2) Many students choose the option of combining the
B.A. in Sociology with a professionally-oriented specialization,
such as aging or pre-MBA, which stresses practical
applications in a variety of settings or preparation
for graduate work in business. (3) Selected academically
qualified students take advantage of the Accelerated
Bachelor's/Master's Program, accelerating their progress
towards the Sociology M.A. or a related degree.
(4 ) The B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies with a specialization
in Public Assistance is a unique professional program
designed to provide students with a specific body
of knowledge and practical skills necessary to function
effectively in the social service sector. fully articulated

this program's curriculum draws upon the disciplines of
sociology, political science and psychology.
The full-time sociology [acuity are active professionals
with high national and regional profiles in their spe­
lOS
cialties for their scholarly work. They are noted for their
study of discrimination (especiaJJy sexism and racism),
community analysis (especiaJJy for Baltimore), gerontology,
business ethics, occupations, automated database
sofrware development (especiaJJy for textual data), and
world cultures (especiaJly Germany, Central America,
and the far East). To complement the fuJI-time faculty,
the Sociology Department regularly hires community
professionals on a part-time basis.
The department's students maintain an active profile
in university governance and professional organizations.
The Sociology Department sponsors the Delta Chapter
of Alpha Kappa Delta (a national Sociology Honor Society),
the Sociology forum (an undergraduate/graduate
sociology student club), and PAST (a Public Assistance
Student Club). PAST NEWS and ARSP are two newsletters

men and women who have selected management informatio:1
systems (I\U.S.) as their field of specialization and who wish :0
do in ·depth study in the field. Although not limited to this
group of applicants, this program of specialized study in marcagement
information systems is the general extension of the
student'S undergraduate work in bUSiness administration. T h.is
program allows more advanced work in a chosen field than IS
obtainable within the MBA program. The internship progran
is highly recommended for all students who have no work
experience in computer systems.

to manage increasingly complex organizations of \muican
and international business has risen sharply. The dr.Jmalic
rise in the prestige and popularity of the MBA degree best
reflects this fact.

program designed for persons who are already in
positions of executive responsibility, as well as for those who
look forward 10 assuming managerial po.sitions. The main
objective of the program is to help the student develop lhe

Graduate Certificate in
Police Administration
The graduate certificate program in Police Administration
offers an intensive and focused course of study in management
and administration designed for individuals already employed
in the police field. Upon the successful completion of the
21·credit program, students are awarded a graduate certificate
in Police Administration. The certificate is not in any respect
the equivalent of a master's degree, but rather recognizes the
completion of a unique and rigorous course of graduate study.
Students may elect to continue their studies toward a master's
degree, of course. The certifiCate program is administered by
the Criminal Justice Department and specifically articulated
with the M.S. in Criminal justice and Master of Public Administration
degrees.
Juris Doctor O.D.) and
Master of Science (M.S.) in
Criminal Justice
The University of Baltimore School of Law and Department of
Criminal justice offer students the opportunity to obtain juriS
Doctor O.D.) and Master of Science (M.S.) in Criminal justice
degrees by completing an integrated sequence of courses over
a three to four year period. Students seeking this combined
degree will find their education useful in managerial and legal
pOSitions in federal, state or local criminal justice agenCies or
in the practice of criminal law.
Students in the combined program will be required to complet.e
a minimum of 85 credit hours in law school and a minimum
of 27-30 semeste r hours in the M.S. program in Criminal
justice. The School of Law recognizes six hours of the M.S.
credits as transferable to its program and the Criminal justice
program allows nine hours to be applied towards the master's
degree. Thus, students in the program can complete both
degrees for 15 fewer credit hours than would be required if
the twO degrees were obtained independently. In order to be
admitted to the jOint program, students must meet entrance
requirements for both the School of Law and the Criminal justice
master's program.
Juris Doctor O.D.) and
Master of Public
Administration (MPA)
The University of Baltimore School of Law and Department of
Government and Public Administration offer students the
opportunity to obtain juris Doctor O.D.) and Master of Public
Administration (MPA) degrees by completing an integrated
sequence ofcourses over a three to four year period. Stud ts
seeking the combined degree will find their training useful in
managerial and legal positions in federal, state, or local government
agenCies, and in not-for-profit or quasi-government
organizations.
Students in the combined program will be required to co mplete
a minimum of 90 credit hours in law school and a mini·
mum of 42 semester hours in the MPA program. However, the
School of Law recognizes 6 credits of the MPA core requir ­
ments-Bureaucracy and the Political Process (PUAD 605 and
Public Organization Theory (PUAD 606)-as transferable to
its program, and the MPA program reciprocally allows the
transfer of 12 credits of School of Law courses-Civil Proe.edure
I & II and Contracts I & II-to satisfy coursework
requirements in its program. Thus, students who are admiu ed
to this program have the opportunity to obtain both the].
degree and the MPA degree for 18 fewer credit hours than
would be required were the cwo degrees obtained indepertd·
ently. All other requirements for the ].D. degree apply to S!1Jdents
in this program. Students in the combined program thus
must also successfully pass the general MPA comprehensi\e
examination.

Master of Arts in Legal and
Ethical Studies
The graduate program in Legal and Ethical Studies is administered
by the Department of History and Philosophy. The program
is designed for students who are already committed to
non· legal careers-those for whom the knowledge and understanding
of law serve personal, intellectual and professional
interests. The program is most appropriate for the serious,
intelligent student who is motivated by an intrinsic interest in
the law, rather than immediate career needs. Courses in the
program are structured in rwo general categories, foundation
courses and advanced courses. Foundation courses provide an
overview of the law and its historical, philosophical and sociological
bases, while advanced courses focus on more specialized
topiCS such as world legal systems, business law, criminal
justice, administrative law, human rights law, and legislation.
Taught jointly by faculty of the Gordon CoJlege of Liberal
Arts and School of Law, courses in the program will be offered
in the evenings. The program does not qualify the students for
the Maryland State Bar Examination, nor does it prepare them
for special consideration or advance placement in law school.
Master of Public Administration
(MPA)
Offered by the Government and Public Administration Department,
the Master of Public Administration degree (MPA) is a
rwo-year professional degree designed for persons currently
holding or preparing for employment in managerial or administrative
positions in the public sector. The objective of the
program is to educate administrative generalists. Based on this
premise, the course of study has been designed to improve the
students' understanding of the political and legal environment
within which publiC administrators function, to enhance their
knowledge of publiC management and organizational behavior,
and to improve their skills in quantitative and managerial techniques.
The program is structured to prepare graduates for
administrative pOSitions in agenCies and departments at all
levels of government. Students with all types of undergraduate
degree backgrou nds are considered for admission.
In J983, the MPA program received recognition from the
National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration
(NASPAA). An institutional membership organization,
NASPAA sets goals and fosters standards for excellence in education
for publiC service.
Master of Arts in
Publications Design
113
The master of arts program in Publications Design is administered
in the Department of English and Communications
Design and coordinated with the Maryland Institute, CoJlege of
Art. This program brings together writers and deSigners who
share an interest in publication theory and process. Some are
recent graduates who aspire to entry-level positions in the
field; others are seasoned professionals who head sizable public
relations departments or own their own agenCies. Because
admission is selective, a close sense of community exists
among the students enroJled in the program. In addition to the
required courses, electives may be selected in writing, graphics,
illustration, and photography. In lieu of the traditional thesis,
each student presents in the final semester a portfolio of
completed work to be evaluated by a panel of faculty members.
The program also offers a specialization in Creative Writing
and Publishing. It is suited for writers who are interested in
editing and producing various types of literary publications.
Master of Arts in Sociology
The master of arts program in Sociology, offered by the Department
of Sociology, is designed for those interested in improving
their analytical and perceptual skills for applied careers in
such diverse settings as health service agenCies, federal, state,
and local government, community colleges, and business and
industrial sectors. The master's degree also prepares students
for doctoral work. An undergraduate major in sociology is not
required for admission to the program.
The focus of the graduate program is applied; students are
encouraged-in coursework, research, and internships-to
work on projects which examine contemporary social problems,
evaluate poliCies and help community groups implement
some of their objectives. SpeCialities are offered in Applied
Research in Social PoliCy and the Sociology of Human Services.

School ofLaw
HISTORY AND PURPOSE
The School of Law was first opened with the founding of the
Universit y of Baltimore in 1925, It conducted part-time evening
classes until the establishment of a full -time day program
in 1969, One year later the Mount Ve rnon School of Law at
Eastern College was merged with the University of Baltimore
School of Law, combining the faculty, facilities, and other assets
of the two institutions, The School of Law is fully accredited by
the American Bar Association and the Association of American
Law Schools, It is housed in the Law Center at Maryland and
Mount Roval Avenues,
The da); division offers a full·time, three-year program; the
evening division, a part-time, four-year program. Both have the
same curriculum and require the same standards of performance
by students, FUll-time faculty members teach in both day
and evening divisions. Part·time lecturers teaching primarily in
the evening include some of the foremost practicing attorneys,
judges, and government officials in Maryland. Full-scale clinical
and internship programs are integral parts of the
curriculum.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
The juris Doctor 0,0,) is the first professional level in law. It
will be conferred on a degree candidate who has satisfactorily
completed 90 credit hours in required and elective courses in
law with a grade-point average of not less than 2,0 and who has
de monstrated fitness for the degree,
ADMISSION TO COMBINED PROGRAMS
Procedures for Undergraduate Students
Universit y of Baltimore undergraduates majoring in jurispr
dence who have completed at least 90 semester hours of co ­
lege work, inclUSive of all core requirements for the bacheh r"s
degree and at least 30 hours of which were taken at the University
of Baltimore, may apply for the full first year of study ill'
the School of Law. Upon satisfactory completion of the first
year of law study, the student will receive the B.S. in Busin 's
Administration or the B.A, in jurisprudence and upon atisf::.ctory
completion of the full law program, the juriS doct r
degree, Thus, in the pursuit of this program, the studem may
receive simultaneous credit toward fulfillment of the requirements
of both the bachelor's and law degrees for the work sac·
cessfully completed in the undergraduate senior year (first
year of law study) and earn both degrees within a period ofsix
academic years.
Students admitted to the School of Law must begin their
studies in the fall semester. Where exceptional circumstances
have been found to exist, a limited number of students, not CO
exceed seven, may be admitted to the entering day class for a
course of studies eqUivalent to that required of evening
students.
Enrollment in the undergraduate program of the Yale Gordon
College of Liberal Arts or the Robert G. Merrick School of
Business and maintenance of good academic standing does not
assure entrance to the School of Law. Students pursui ng the
combined program must compete for places in the School cf
Law with other applicants and must present credentials
stronger than those reqUired of an applicant who has completed
a bachelor's degree,

GENERAL LAW ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
The number of acceptable applicants greatly exceeds the number
of spaces available in the entering class at the School of
Law. Selections are, therefore, made by the Committee on
Admissions on the basis of several factors. Significant emphasis
is placed on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score and
the cumulative undergraduate grade point average. In most
cases, a combination of these elements may be sufficient for
the admission decision. The committee also recognizes nontraditional
qualities that may be relevant in determining the
applicant's ability to complete law school successfully The
committee seeks to include persons of diverse racial, ethnic
and cultural backgrounds. It considers the undergraduate field
of study and graduate work as well as other factors that are not
susceptible to measurement by traditional academic criteria,
such as demonstrated ability to overcome adverSity, individual
achievement, motivation, work experience and character.
HOW TO APPLY
Application forms may be obtained from the Assistant Dean for
Law Admissions, University of Baltimore, 1420 N. Charles
Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201. The application fOrm
should be completed and returned to that office, together with
a 535 non-refundable application fee and a matching card from
the Law School Admission Test packet.
Admission requirements are the same for both day and evening
divisions.
All applicants must take the Law School Admissions Test
(LSAT), which is administered throughout the nation four times
each year, in February,June, October and December. A bulletin
of information about the test can be obtained by writing to the
Law School Admission Service, Box 2000, Newtown, PA 18940.
Applicants should register for the test approximately six weeks
prior to the administration date and should plan to take the
test no later than December, prior to the intended date of
enrollment.

scholarships, financial aid, and tuition, please see the Univer­
Sity of Baltimore School of Law catalog.

University Policies
PRNACY
The university complies with the requirements of
both Federal Public Law 93-380 (Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, also known as 'The
Buckley Amendment"), and the Maryland State Public
Information Act.
In compliance with these acts, the university will
only release, without your signature, that information
that is so designated as directory information. Directory
information is defined as ­
The student's name, address, telephone number, date
and place of birth, major field of study, participation
in officially recognized activities and sports, weight
and height of members of athletic teams, dates of
attendance, degrees and awards received, the most
recent previous educational agency or institution
attended by this student, and other similar information.
20 U.S.c. 1232g(a)(5XA).
lfyou do not wish to have directory information
released, you are required to submit that request by filing
a "Request To Withhold Directory Information"
form in the Office of Records and Transcripts, room
126, prior to the start of each semester.
Copies of these bills are in the possession of the vice
president for student and academic services.
The "Buckley Amendment" provides students with
the opportunity to review information contained in
their "education records." Offices where students' education
records are kept are: Records and TranSCripts, and
in some cases as applicable; Financial Aid, Veterans
Affairs, Vice President for Student and Academic Services,
Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions, Law
Admissions, and the Academic Deans. Students who
wish to review their records may do so by making an
appointment with the appropriate head of the office
housing the record.
NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY
The University of Baltimore does not discriminate on
grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age or handicap
in the administration of any of its educational programs,
activities or with respect to employment. Inquiries
regarding educational programs and activities should
be directed to the vice president for Student and Academic
Services (625-3156). Inquiries regarding
employment should be directed to the Affirmative
Action Office (625-3227).
ACCESSIBILITY TO THE HANDICAPPED
The University of Baltimore is committed to providing
barrier-free education to the physically handicapped
and is actively working to bring its facilities into full
compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973 as amended (P.L. 93-112, P.L. 93-516). At present,
the university is more than 95 percent barrier-free.
It is the policy of the university to reassign classes to
accessible buildings whenever a conflict arises for a
handicapped student.
The vice president for student and academic services
is responsible for coordinating services for handicapped
students.
SEXUAL HARRASSMENT POLICY
The University of Baltimore reaffirms the principle
that its students, faculty, and staff have a right to be free
