ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY<br />
Leadership in Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Education<br />
The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> has a unique<br />
role in the Maryland higher education system.<br />
It is the state's only upper-division<br />
(transfer) and graduate institution, <strong>of</strong>fering a<br />
diversity <strong>of</strong> bachelor's, master's and first pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
applied doctorates in liberal arts and<br />
business. A limited number <strong>of</strong>sophomores<br />
are enrolled each year. UB also operates a law<br />
school, and <strong>of</strong>fers a number <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionally<br />
oriented, combined-degree programs with<br />
other colleges and universities.<br />
Founded in 1925 as a private coeducational<br />
institution, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Baltimore</strong> affiliated with the <strong>University</strong><br />
System <strong>of</strong> Maryland (USM) on UB's 50th<br />
anniversary. UB has a very clear mission to<br />
provide outstanding educational programs<br />
for pr<strong>of</strong>essionally oriented students. The<br />
<strong>University</strong>'s three schools - the Yale<br />
Gordon College <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts, the Robert<br />

strong career ambitions and provide them<br />
with the latest skills and techn iques in their<br />
chosen fields. UB students graduate with a<br />
broad foundation <strong>of</strong> knowledge and are<br />
prepared to meet the rapidly changing conditions<br />
<strong>of</strong> today's work environment.<br />
More than 50,000 alumni serve as testimony<br />
to the <strong>University</strong>'s success in its educational<br />
endeavors. UB graduates are highly<br />
visible throughout the legal, industrial, corporate<br />
and civic communities <strong>of</strong> Maryland.<br />
Their achievements have helped to build<br />
the <strong>University</strong>'s outstanding reputation<br />
among employers.<br />
The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> ranks high<br />
among Maryland's many colleges and universities<br />

ratio <strong>of</strong> 15: 1 and a personalized system <strong>of</strong><br />
student advising, UB programs emphasize<br />
one-on-one interaction and individual<br />
attention for both graduate and undergraduate<br />

2<br />
the full-time faculty hold terminal degrees<br />
(Ph.D ., ].0., L.L.B., D.B.A., D .P.A., and<br />

members are acrively engaged in<br />
research, civic and pr<strong>of</strong>essional activiries<br />

its faculty who supplement their teaching<br />
with research, consulting and service activities<br />

PROCEDURE TO AUDIT COURSES<br />
While the <strong>University</strong> does not encourage<br />
students to attend classes on an "audit"<br />
basis, under special conditions and with the<br />
written permission <strong>of</strong> the particular program<br />
director, a limited number <strong>of</strong> students<br />
may be permitted to audit on a space available<br />
basis.<br />
Students who wish to audit courses are<br />
subject to all rules, procedures, and changes<br />
that govern students taking courses for<br />
credit. Ifa student decides to attempt a<br />
master's degree, the student will have to<br />
repeat courses taken as "audit" or take an<br />
equivalent number <strong>of</strong> courses as decided<br />
and specified by the program director.<br />
Students should also check the statement<br />
on "Continuous Enrollment Leave <strong>of</strong><br />
Absence" in the Graduate Admissions section<br />
<strong>of</strong> this catalog.<br />
GRADE CHANGES<br />
Allgraduate semester grades becomefinal 60<br />
calendar days after the last day <strong>of</strong>that semester<br />
or the summer session. Students should<br />
review the policy on incomplete grades<br />
under the preceding section on grades.<br />
SATISFACTORY AND<br />
UNSATISFACTORY PROGRESS<br />
Please note that these policies are for determining<br />
satisfactory academic progress.<br />
Students are advised to review the Financial<br />
Assistance section <strong>of</strong> this catalog to determine<br />
the standards for satisfactory progress<br />
for eligibility for receiving or continuing to<br />
receive financial assistance.<br />
To be approved for graduation, a graduate<br />
student must have a cumulative GPA <strong>of</strong><br />
3.0. A student is making satisfactory<br />
progress toward completion <strong>of</strong>a program<br />
as long as a grade point average (GPA) <strong>of</strong><br />
3.0 or higher is maintained and the student<br />
has not failed the same course rwice or<br />
failed rwo different courses at least once.<br />
1) A student who attempts six or more<br />
credits at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong><br />
and earns less than 3.0, or who fails the<br />
same course rwice or fails rwo different<br />
24<br />
courses at least once, will be placed on<br />
academic probation. Notification <strong>of</strong> this<br />
action will be by the grade report.<br />
Probationary status is a warning that<br />
satisfactory progress is in jeopardy.<br />
2) A student who is placed on probation<br />
must obtain advisement from the appropriate<br />
graduate program director and/or<br />
academic dean's <strong>of</strong>fice before attending<br />
classes the following semester or summer<br />
session, even if the student has<br />
already registered. At the discretion <strong>of</strong><br />
the appropriate academic dean, a student<br />
on probation may take up to six<br />
credits. Students on probation may not<br />
take more than three credits at any given<br />
time during the summer.<br />
3) Graduate students on academic probation<br />
may not hold <strong>of</strong>fices in student<br />
organizations at the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
4) A student who has been placed on probation<br />
because <strong>of</strong> a deficient grade point<br />
average will be allowed up to six semester<br />
hours to clear probation. If the student<br />
does not reach a GPA <strong>of</strong>3.0 or<br />
higher by the time these additional<br />
credit hours are accumulated, the student<br />
will be suspended.<br />
5) A student who has been placed on academic<br />
probation because <strong>of</strong> failing the<br />
same course rwice or failing rwo different<br />
courses at least once must satisfactorily<br />
meet the conditions prescribed by<br />
the appropriate dean's <strong>of</strong>fice in order to<br />
clear probation. If the student does not<br />
meet those conditions satisfactorily,<br />
he/she will be suspended.<br />
6) The period <strong>of</strong>suspension is one semester.<br />
During this period <strong>of</strong>suspension a<br />
student may not register for any course<br />
at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Balrimore which<br />
may be applied to the graduate degree<br />
or certificate (including prerequisite<br />
requirements), nor will any course taken<br />
at another institution be applied to the<br />
graduate degree or certificate. With<br />
prior written approval <strong>of</strong> the appropriate<br />
academic dean's <strong>of</strong>fice, a suspended student<br />
may take remedial work (at the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> or at anorher
university). The credits for such remedial<br />
work will not be applied to the<br />
graduate degree or certificate. While<br />
taking such courses at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Baltimore</strong>, the student must register as a<br />
non-degree seeking special student.<br />
7) The student should remember that reinstatement<br />
at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong><br />
is not automatic; the student must<br />
request reinstatement according to the<br />
procedure set in his/her school. A letter<br />
requesting readmission must be submitted<br />
to the appropriate graduate program<br />
director and/or appropriate academic<br />
dean by October 15 for the spring semester;<br />
by April 15 for the fall se mester;<br />
or by March 15 for the summer session.<br />
8) A student returning from academic suspension<br />
must receive advising and be<br />
cleared by the appropriate program<br />
director and/or appropriate academic<br />
dean's <strong>of</strong>fice before registering.<br />
9) If the student is suspended for academic<br />
or other deficiencies, the student must<br />
meet me requirements <strong>of</strong> the catalog in<br />
effect upon return if the student is<br />
admitted as a degree candidate.<br />
10) A student suspended for a deficient<br />
GPA, if readmitted, must achieve for<br />
the first six hours a grade <strong>of</strong> B or higher<br />
in each course taken after re-entering.<br />
Failure to do so will result in immediate<br />
dismissal.<br />
11) A student suspended for failing to meet<br />
the conditions for removal <strong>of</strong> F grades<br />
(see item 5., above), if readmitted,<br />
must satisfy the requirements stipulated<br />
by the dean for remaining in<br />
good standing.<br />
WITHDRAWAL POLICIES<br />
AND PROCEDURES<br />
A student wishing ro withdraw from a<br />
course must submit an <strong>of</strong>ficial withdrawal<br />
request to rhe Office <strong>of</strong> Records and<br />
Registration. No credit or tuition refund<br />
will be made unless such an <strong>of</strong>ficial notice<br />
is submitted. The computation <strong>of</strong>any credit<br />
or refund is madefrom the date the formal<br />
notice <strong>of</strong>withdrawal is submitted to the<br />
Office <strong>of</strong>Records and Registration - NOT<br />
from the date the student stopped attending<br />
any class{es). Responsibility for <strong>of</strong>ficial withdrawal<br />
rests with the student.<br />
If a withdrawal is done prior to the end<br />
<strong>of</strong> the late registration, add/drop period,<br />
the course will not show on the student's<br />
transcript. After that period, all withdrawals<br />
are indicated on the transcript by<br />
the symbol <strong>of</strong> "w," and the student is considered<br />
to have been enrolled for that<br />
semester.<br />
Any student may withdraw from a<br />
course through the end <strong>of</strong> the ninth week<br />
<strong>of</strong> the fall or spring semester, or through<br />
the fifth week <strong>of</strong> an eight week summer session.<br />
After the deadline for withdrawal, a<br />
student who believes that unanticipated<br />
extenuating circumstances - such as<br />
health problems or change <strong>of</strong> employment<br />
- make a withdrawal necessary should<br />
submit a written appeal with supporting<br />
documentation to the appropriate academic<br />
dean. Both the course instructor(s)<br />
and the appropriate dean must approve the<br />
request. Approval <strong>of</strong>such requests is not<br />
automatic, and some requests may not be<br />
granted. No student will be permitted to<br />
withdraw for any reason from a class during<br />
the last week <strong>of</strong>school prior to the<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong> the scheduled examination<br />
period.<br />
Students receiving any form <strong>of</strong> financial<br />
aid, including veterans benefits, should<br />
check with the Financial Aid Office prior<br />
to withdrawing from any class. Withdrawal<br />
may affect the level <strong>of</strong> aid or eligibility for<br />
aid in future semesters.<br />
MAKE·UP POLICY FOR FINAL EXAMS<br />
Make-up examinations for missed final<br />
examinations are, in general, left to the discretion<br />
<strong>of</strong> the individual faculty member.<br />
However, <strong>University</strong> policy dictates that<br />
make-up examinations will be given for<br />
instances <strong>of</strong> final examinations missed<br />
because <strong>of</strong> documented illness or documented<br />
conflict with religious observance,<br />
25
and in instances <strong>of</strong> examinations missed<br />
because <strong>of</strong> <strong>University</strong>-sanctioned trips. If a<br />
student misses a final examination for any<br />
reason not covered by the above, the question<br />
<strong>of</strong> whether or not a make-up examination<br />
is given is up to the discretion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
individual faculty member.<br />
ATTENDANCE<br />
Students are expected to attend classes regularly.<br />
When, in the instructor's judgment,<br />
a student has been absent or late so <strong>of</strong>ten as<br />
to have lost a significant part <strong>of</strong> the instruction<br />
which will prevent the issuance <strong>of</strong> a<br />
valid grade, the instructor may submit to<br />
the dean a request in writing that the student<br />
be withdrawn administratively from<br />
the class roll.<br />
Instructors set their own class attendance<br />
policy and will make this known at<br />
the beginning <strong>of</strong> their courses. However,<br />
the above policy does not remove the<br />
responsibility from the student to withdraw<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficiaHy from any class which he/she ceases<br />
to attend, and failure to do so will subject<br />
rhe student's record to a grade <strong>of</strong>F.<br />
ACADEMIC AND<br />
ADMINISTRAIIVE APPEALS<br />
Graduate students desiring to appeal an<br />
academic or administrative decision should<br />
consult the handbook dealing with appeal<br />
procedures published by the Office <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Vice President for Student Affairs and<br />
Enrollment Management. This handbook<br />
is mailed to all first-time students at the<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong> the semester, is available in the<br />
Office <strong>of</strong>Student Affairs, Room 121,<br />
Charles Hall, and can be found on the<br />
<strong>University</strong> website at www.ubalt.edu.<br />
CHANGE OF GRADUATE PROGRAM<br />
Students desiring to change degree programs<br />
must complete a change <strong>of</strong> program/specialization<br />
form available in the<br />
Records Office. In transferring credits<br />
and/or grades between two <strong>University</strong> graduate<br />
programs, a student, with the approval<br />
<strong>of</strong> the director <strong>of</strong> the new program, may:<br />
26<br />
1) transfer no grades/credits ftom the previous<br />
program.<br />
2) transfer both grades and credits <strong>of</strong> all<br />
courses ftom previous programs.<br />
3) transfer only credits and no grades.<br />
(Credits elected to be transferred must<br />
have carried a grade <strong>of</strong>B or better.)<br />
Please note: If the student changes from<br />
one program and/or major to another,<br />
his/her graduation requirements are those<br />
listed in the catalog which is current at the<br />
time he/she becomes a degree candidate in<br />
the new program or major.<br />
REPEATED COliRSES<br />
While a student may repeat any course in<br />
which he/she has received a grade <strong>of</strong>C+,<br />
C, C, or F (not B- or higher), the student<br />
may replace one grade only. If a second<br />
attempt is to replace a grade, the replacement<br />
grade will be calculated into the<br />
student's grade point average (GPA),<br />
regardless <strong>of</strong> whether it is higher or lower<br />
than the original grade. The grade for the<br />
replacement attempt will appear on the<br />
transcript within the semester in which the<br />
course is repeated.<br />
Students repeating courses to replace<br />
grades do so at their risk. For example, a<br />
student repeating a C graded course who<br />
receives an F for the second attempt wiJl<br />
lose the points earned for the C, and the F<br />
grade will be the grade that will be computed<br />
into the GPA. Further, if the student<br />
receives a W (withdrawn) for the second<br />
attempt, the W will not replace the original<br />
grade.<br />
If a second attempt is meant to replace a<br />
grade, a student must file a repeat course<br />
form at the time he/she registers for the second<br />
attempr. Failure to obtain the dean's<br />
approval and file the repeat course form<br />
will result in both the original and repeated<br />
grades being computed into the GPA.<br />
If a student repeats a course that is not<br />
for replacement <strong>of</strong> a grade, then a repeat<br />
course form does not need to be filed. In<br />
such cases, the grade achieved in the original<br />
course, as well as the grade(s) in the
e-raking <strong>of</strong> the course, will be calculated<br />
on the student's GPA. Students should be<br />
aware that the earning <strong>of</strong>C+, C, C- or F<br />
grades that are compured into the GPA<br />
may resulr in their placement on probation,<br />
suspension, or academic dismissal. (See<br />
"Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory Progress"<br />
under the Academic Policies section.)<br />
C+, C, C-, and F grades earned at the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> must be repeated at<br />
the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong>. Grades will<br />
not be changed on the basis <strong>of</strong> work taken<br />
elsewhere. The repeated course must be the<br />
original course; a substitute course will not<br />
be acceptable for a grade change.<br />
The credit value <strong>of</strong>any repeated course<br />
wiil be counted one time only at the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> to satisfy graduation<br />
requirements at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Baltimore</strong>.<br />
CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT!<br />
LEAVE OF ABSENCE<br />
A graduate student has seven years to complete<br />
graduate preparatory/foundation and<br />
degree requirements at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Baltimore</strong> after enrolling as a graduate Student.<br />
Degree-seeking students are expected<br />
to register for courses each semester<br />
(excluding summer) on a continuous basis<br />
to maintain the degree requirements in<br />
effect at the time <strong>of</strong> their initial enrollment.<br />
The <strong>University</strong> recognizes, however, that<br />
a student may encounter circumstances<br />
that require a temporary interruption <strong>of</strong><br />
studies. Under such circumstances, the student<br />
may be absent for as long· as two consecurive<br />
semesters (excluding summer)<br />
withour jeopardizing continuous enrollment<br />
scatus.<br />
If a student feels that it is necessary to<br />
be absent for more than twO consecurive<br />
semesters (excluding summer), the student<br />
must receive an approved leave <strong>of</strong> absence<br />
in order to maintain continuous enrollment<br />
under the degree requirements in<br />
effect at the time <strong>of</strong> initial enrollment. To<br />
be considered for a leave <strong>of</strong> absence, a Stu<br />
dent must make a request to the apptopriate<br />
dean's <strong>of</strong>fice in advance <strong>of</strong> the third<br />
semester's absence. Upon reviewing the reasons<br />
for the request, the dean may grant an<br />
approved leave <strong>of</strong> absence. A document<br />
granting permission for such a leave must<br />
be placed in the student's academic folder<br />
maintained in the Records Office.<br />
If a student who is absent for more than<br />
two consecurive semesters does not obtain<br />
an approved leave <strong>of</strong> absence, the student<br />
will be required to apply for re-admission<br />
and pay a re-application fee before being<br />
permitted to re-enroll. A student who<br />
applies for re-admission must fulfill the<br />
admission and degree requirements set<br />
forth in the catalog in effect at the time<br />
the student returns to the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
There is no limit to the number <strong>of</strong><br />
times a student may be absent from the<br />
<strong>University</strong> and still maintain continuous<br />
enrollment scatus. However, the semesters<br />
in which a student fails to enroll will be<br />
counted toward the seven-year limit for<br />
completing degree requirements.<br />
If a student is absent ftom the <strong>University</strong><br />
and has not maintained continuous<br />
enrollment status, the seven-year time<br />
period for completion <strong>of</strong> new degree<br />
requirements will begin when the student is<br />
readmitted to the <strong>University</strong>. A student<br />
should read closely "Catalog Under Which<br />
Students Graduate" in this section <strong>of</strong> the<br />
catalog for information concerning<br />
whether credit hours more than seven years<br />
old will be applied toward graduation<br />
req uiremen ts.<br />
GRADUATE INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH<br />
COURSE ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES<br />
The student must meet with an instructor<br />
to have a topic and course plan approved<br />
for sponsorship. The ptoposed topic <strong>of</strong><br />
study, the study procedures, and time<br />
schedule should be clearly delineated. Once<br />
endorsed by the instructor, the proposal is<br />
submitted to the appropriate department<br />
chair for approval before the beginning <strong>of</strong><br />
27
me academic term. The deadline for proposal<br />
approval is the second day <strong>of</strong> classes<br />
in me term.<br />
In order to successfully complete an<br />
individual research underraking the student<br />
must submit to the sponsoring instructor a<br />
"finished product" (e.g. paper, report, portfolio).<br />
A copy will be forwarded to the<br />
department chair to be kept on file.<br />
CATALOG UNDER WHICH<br />
STUDENTS GRADUATE<br />
The requirements for graduation for a graduate<br />
student at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong><br />
are those listed in the catalog which is current<br />
at the time the student first becomes a<br />
candidate for a graduate degree at the<br />
<strong>University</strong>, with the following conditions:<br />
1) The student must be in continuous<br />
enrollment in the same program and/or<br />
major during the academic years (fall<br />
and spring semesters) from the time <strong>of</strong><br />
first enrollment until graduation.<br />
2) If the student is suspended for academic<br />
or orner deficiencies, the student must<br />
meet the requirements <strong>of</strong> me catalog in<br />
effect upon return if admitted as a<br />
degree candidate.<br />
3) If the student changes from one program<br />
and/or major to another, the graduation<br />
requirements are those listed in<br />
the catalog mat is current at the time the<br />
student becomes a degree candidate in<br />
the new program or major.<br />
4) If the student wishes to attend anomer<br />
institution or must drop our <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong> temporarily because <strong>of</strong> family<br />
problems, sickness, or orner difficulties,<br />
the student may request in writing a<br />
leave <strong>of</strong> absence and permission to reenter<br />
under the student's original catalog<br />
course requ.irements; however, the student<br />
will be governed, upon return,<br />
28<br />
according to the academic and administrative<br />
policies and procedures listed in<br />
the catalog in effect at the time <strong>of</strong> reentty.<br />
5) Such cases will be handled on an individual<br />
basis, depending on the student's<br />
progress up to that point, grades, the<br />
program, and me length <strong>of</strong> absence<br />
from the <strong>University</strong>. If a leave <strong>of</strong> absence<br />
is granted, a letter <strong>of</strong>written permission<br />
signed by the dean must be placed in the<br />
student's academic folder mainta.ined in<br />
me Records Office.<br />
APPLYING FOR GRADUATION<br />
It is me student's responsibility to apply for<br />
graduation, which involves filing an application<br />
and paying me required fee at the<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong> the semester in which he/she<br />
expects to complete requirements, according<br />
to the deadlines established in the<br />
schedule <strong>of</strong> classes for mat semester.<br />
Students are advised to meet with their<br />
department chair or adviser no later than the<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong>their last semester to make sure<br />
their last course selectiom are correct. They<br />
should resolve any outstanding problems<br />
prior to mid-semester, at which time copies<br />
<strong>of</strong> me students' records are submitted to the<br />
academic dean for approval/disapproval. All<br />
transcripts must be submitted and any<br />
pending grade changes or incomplete<br />
should be resolved and in the Records<br />
Office prior to mid-semester. The student's<br />
fa.ilure to do so could delay his/her graduation<br />
for an additional semester.<br />
Any student who does nOt complete<br />
degree requirements by the end <strong>of</strong> me<br />
semester for which the student has applied<br />
for graduation, or is not approved, must file<br />
anomer graduation application and pay<br />
anomer fee in me future semester in which<br />
the student plans to graduate.

<strong>of</strong>fered during summer rerms.<br />
Since credits and refunds are based upon<br />
the full charges for the semester and not<br />
upon the amount paid under rhe deferred<br />
payment plan, there is no advantage in the<br />
use <strong>of</strong>deferred payments excepr in cases <strong>of</strong><br />
necessity.<br />

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE<br />
FirumcialAid Office: 410.837.4763<br />
www.ubalt. edu/financialaid!<br />
The Universiry <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> recognizes the<br />
need for financial aid to help students meet<br />
the cost <strong>of</strong> higher education. Therefore, the<br />
Universiry provides grants, scholarships,<br />
loans, and work through federal, state, and<br />
institutional sources to help eligible students<br />
meet some <strong>of</strong> these costs. Funds are<br />
awarded to defray direct educational costs,<br />
such as tuition and fees, and indirect educational<br />
costs, such as room and board,<br />
books, transportation, and other miscellaneous<br />
expenses.<br />
Funds are awarded primarily on the<br />
basis <strong>of</strong> need, and in the order <strong>of</strong> receipt <strong>of</strong><br />
application. There are also substantial<br />
scholarship awards based on academic<br />
achievement available to transfer and graduate<br />
students, and diversiry grant funds for<br />
those who qualify.<br />
GENERAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS<br />
To receive financial aid from the Universiry<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> financial aid <strong>of</strong>fice (FAO) and<br />
the federal aid programs, a student must:<br />
• Be admitted into a degree or certificate<br />
program and, generally, enroll at least<br />
half-time or more.<br />
• Be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident,<br />
refugee, or have parolee or asylum status.<br />
• NOT be in default on a loan or owe a<br />
repayment on a grant at any institution.<br />
• Be making satisfactory academic<br />

• Be registered with the Selective Service,<br />
if required.<br />
• Be in compliance with the Universiry's<br />

APPLICATION PROCESS<br />
The Guide to Financial Aid, available on the<br />
Financial Aid Office website, includes a<br />
complete description <strong>of</strong> the application<br />
process and the sources <strong>of</strong> financial aid for<br />
undergraduate students. Additionally, the<br />
Applicatiom Checklist, included on the website,<br />
details specific instructions on how to<br />
apply.<br />
All applicants should be aware that most<br />
aid is not renewable, and most cannot be<br />
transferred from another school.<br />
Students who have completed part <strong>of</strong><br />
the process at another college or universiry<br />
should contact the Financial Aid Office for<br />
further instructions.<br />
In completing the financial aid application,<br />
each student must make sure to mark<br />
each item clearly with his/her name and<br />
social securiry number, and to keep copies<br />
<strong>of</strong> all documents for the purpose <strong>of</strong> recordkeeping.<br />
No application is reviewed until it<br />
is complete and until the student has been<br />
admitted to a qualified academic program.<br />
VERIFICATION<br />
Federal regulations require that a percentage<br />
<strong>of</strong> applicants have their information<br />
verified. Students who are selected will be<br />
notified to supply documents such as tax<br />
returns and W-2 form. All applicants must<br />
be sure to have copies <strong>of</strong> all information<br />
they used to complete their application in<br />
case it is requested.<br />
APPUCATION PROCESS<br />
Students enrolled in special programs, i.e.,<br />
the Advantage M.B.A. and weekend enrollment<br />
programs should review the Financial<br />
Aid website for additional instructions.<br />
33
AWARD PROCESS<br />
The financial aid administrator first reviews<br />
the need-analysis information supplied by<br />
the student on the financial aid application<br />
(FAFSA) which measures how much the<br />
student and/or the family is expected to<br />
contribute toward the cost <strong>of</strong> the student's<br />
education.<br />
SAMPLE STUDENT BUDGET<br />
Expenses Self-supporting<br />
Tuition* $ 6,367<br />
Books 746<br />
Room and Board 11,354<br />
Total $ 18,467<br />
*Tuition is caLculated on the basis <strong>of</strong>nine<br />
credits, which equals foLL-time enroLLmentfor<br />
graduate study.<br />
Students cannot be awarded more than<br />
their determined financial budget. Financial<br />
need is the difference between the student's<br />
cost <strong>of</strong> education (budget) minus<br />
the expected family contribution.<br />
The financial aid administrator will<br />
then award funds to the student based on<br />
the bottom line financial need figure.<br />
Awards are "packaged" in a combination <strong>of</strong><br />
loans, grants, scholarships, and work.<br />
Because funds are limited, students are<br />
encouraged to apply by April 1 for priority<br />
consideration.<br />
In limited cases, students may request a<br />
budget adjustment. Generally, budgets are<br />
adjusted for dependent care expenses or<br />
purchase <strong>of</strong> a computer. Documentation <strong>of</strong><br />
these expenses must be submitted to the<br />
financial aid <strong>of</strong>fice with a letter requesting a<br />
budget adjustment. Budgets are not adjusted<br />
to accommodate relocation expenses.<br />
Refer to the Appeals section <strong>of</strong> the website.<br />
34<br />
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS<br />
Federal regulations require that all students<br />
receiving federal financial assistance from<br />
the Title IV financial aid programs (Federal<br />
College Work Study, Federal Perkins Loan,<br />
and Federal Family Educational Loans)<br />
must be making satisfactory progress<br />
toward a degree or certificate in order to<br />
continue receiving financial aid. Students<br />
who must enroll in undergraduate or noncredit<br />
courses must submit pro<strong>of</strong> that the<br />
class is required for the degree program in<br />
order for that course to be counted toward<br />
financial aid eligibility. In addition, enrollment<br />
in only undergraduate courses generally<br />
will not be considered graduate study.<br />
Students who are required to enroll in<br />
undergraduate course work as a prerequisite<br />
to graduate admission may only receive<br />
Stafford Loans at the undergraduate award<br />
level ($6,625).<br />
The satisfactory academic progress standards<br />
for the <strong>University</strong> differ from the satisfactory<br />
academic progress policy used to<br />
receive financial assistance. Students must<br />
maintain a minimum GPA each semester<br />
in order ro retain financial aid eligibility.<br />
In addition, financial aid recipients are<br />
required to complete their program <strong>of</strong><br />
study within a maximum time frame to<br />
remain eligible for financial assistance.<br />
Students registering for less than six credit<br />
hours are ineligible for financial assistance.<br />
Enrolling for classes and withdrawing after<br />
the drop/add period will affect your completion<br />
rate adversely.<br />
The Financial Aid Office evaluates<br />
financial aid recipients for satisfactory<br />
progress at the end <strong>of</strong> each semester and at<br />
the end <strong>of</strong> each academic year.<br />
Students suspended from the <strong>University</strong><br />
are ineligible for financial assistance.<br />
Students academically dismissed from their<br />
program who enroll in a new degree program<br />
will be ineligible for financial aid the<br />
first semester <strong>of</strong> their new program.<br />
Students must meet minimum GPA<br />
requirements by the end <strong>of</strong> the semester for<br />
financial aid reconsideration.
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS STANDARDS<br />
Students must successfully complete a<br />
required percentage <strong>of</strong> credits attempted<br />
and attain a minimum GPA within a specified<br />
time frame.<br />
Courses completed with grades <strong>of</strong>A, B,<br />
C, PS,CS, and CR are counted as successfully<br />
completed. Courses completed with<br />
grades <strong>of</strong>F, W, WA, I, and NC are nor considered<br />
as successfully completed, but they<br />
are counted as credits attempted.<br />
PROGRAM TIME FRAMES<br />
Students must successfully complete a<br />
required percentage <strong>of</strong> credits attempted<br />
and attain a minimum GPA at the end <strong>of</strong><br />
each semester. Summer sessions will not be<br />
included as additional semesters but any<br />
earned credits will be added to the yearly<br />
total. Failure to achieve these minimum<br />
standards will result in a loss <strong>of</strong> financial<br />
aid eligibility until the minimum requirements<br />
are met.<br />
Students whose program <strong>of</strong> study<br />
requires longer than the time frame established<br />
will be evaluated on an individual<br />
basis to determine continued eligibility.<br />
Students who continue at the <strong>University</strong><br />
and move from an undergraduate to a graduate<br />
or law degree program will begin the new<br />
time frame established for that program.<br />
GRADUATE STUDENTS<br />
Full- and part-time students must complete<br />
65 percent <strong>of</strong> the first 11 credits attempted<br />
and 75 percent <strong>of</strong> the remaining credits<br />
attempted . A minimum GPA <strong>of</strong> 3.0 is<br />
required in order to receive financial aid.<br />
Academic Status Max. Time Frame*<br />
Full-time 3 years<br />
Part-time 4 112 years<br />
*For financial eligibility.<br />
DROPPING ACLASS OR<br />
WITHDRAWING FROM SCHOOL<br />
A reduction in course load could affect current<br />
and future financial aid eligibility.<br />
Students should speak to a financial aid<br />
counselor before dropping any classes.<br />
Further information regarding this topic is<br />
available on the Financial Aid website.<br />
REFUNDS AND REPAYMENTS<br />
Refonds: Depending on when a student<br />
withdraws, a tuition refund may be available.<br />
Any such refund must be used to<br />
repay the student's awards in the following<br />
order: Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan,<br />
Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan, Federal<br />
Perkins Loan, other Title IV aid. The Student<br />
is responsible for paying any outstanding<br />
charges not covered by financial aid or<br />
other resources.<br />
Repayments: If a student receives financial<br />
aid to assist with living expenses and subsequently<br />
withdraws, a calculation is performed<br />
to determine if any aid must be<br />
repaid. This is based on the amount <strong>of</strong>aid<br />
disbursed and the number <strong>of</strong> weeks<br />
attended.<br />
APPEAL PROCESS<br />
Students with mitigating circumstances<br />
who are not meeting the satisfactory<br />
progress requirements may have their<br />
record reevaluated to determine continued<br />
eligibility. In general, students may appeal<br />
financial aid decisions in the following categOrIes:<br />
1) financial difficulties that may require a<br />
revision <strong>of</strong> the fmancial aid application;<br />
or<br />
2) academic difficulties that result from illness,<br />
separation/ divorce, or workrelated<br />
problems.<br />
Students may appeal a financial aid<br />
decision (in writing) to the director <strong>of</strong>student<br />
financial aid. If an appeal results in<br />
the waiver <strong>of</strong>satisfactory academic progress<br />
standards, the student may be placed on<br />
financial aid probation for a minimum <strong>of</strong><br />
35
one academic semester. Failure to meet the<br />
conditions <strong>of</strong> the probation will result in<br />
suspension from participation in the financial<br />
aid programs.<br />
The need for more than one waiver <strong>of</strong><br />
academic progress generally indicates a serious<br />
problem. Such cases will be reviewed in<br />
consultation with the director and associate<br />
director <strong>of</strong> financial aid and the appropriate<br />
academic adviser. Refer to the Appeals section<br />
<strong>of</strong> the website.<br />
FINANCIAL AID PROBATION<br />
Students whose GPA is below the minimum<br />
required for graduation, but above<br />
the minimum GPA as specified above will<br />
be placed on financial aid probation.<br />
Students who are placed on financial aid<br />
probation will be notified in writing <strong>of</strong><br />
their status.<br />
Readmitted students who were suspended<br />
from the <strong>University</strong> for academic<br />
reasons will be ineligible for financial aid<br />
upon re-enrolling. The srudent must meet<br />
the minimum GPA requirements as indicated<br />
above before reconsideration <strong>of</strong> financial<br />
assistance is given.<br />
FINANCIAL AID SUSPENSION<br />
Students who do not accumulate the<br />
required percentage <strong>of</strong> credits and required<br />
GPA will be suspended from receiving<br />
additional financial aid.<br />
Continuing srudents who are dismissed<br />
from an academic division and enroll in<br />
another will be suspended from financial<br />
aid eligibility for one semester. The srudent<br />
must successfully complete the first semester<br />
<strong>of</strong> the new program as described above<br />
for GPA requirements before reevaluation<br />
for financial assistance is given. In addition,<br />
the student's time frame will not be<br />
adjusted if additional charges are required<br />
as a tesult <strong>of</strong> the program change.<br />
Continuing students who are dismissed<br />
from one program within a division and reenroll<br />
in another will follow the same criteria<br />
as stated for continuing srudents who<br />
are dismissed from an academic division.<br />
36<br />
STUDY AT OTHER INS1'ITUTIONS/<br />
STUDY ABROAD<br />
Courses to be taken at another institution<br />
which will apply toward the student's UB<br />
degree will count toward financial aid eligibility.<br />
Students contemplating entolling for<br />
one or more courses at another school<br />
should make an appointment with a financial<br />
aid counselor well in advance <strong>of</strong><br />
enrolling at the other school. The student<br />
must provide pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> the UB adviser's permission<br />
to take the course(s). A consortium<br />
agreement between the two institutions<br />
may be required . ,<br />
The costs <strong>of</strong> such study will be included<br />
in the student's budget when determining<br />
the amounts <strong>of</strong> aid for which a student is<br />
eligible. It is the srudent's responsibility to<br />
meet payment obligations at the host<br />
school if financial aid is not in place at the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong>, and to notify our<br />
financial aid <strong>of</strong>fice if there is a change in<br />
his/her enrollment at the host school.<br />
LOANS<br />
Loans are a major source <strong>of</strong> funding for srudents<br />
pursuing a graduate degree. The following<br />
loan programs are available:<br />
Federal Perkins Loan<br />
(Formerly National Direct Student Loan)<br />
The Federal Perkins Loan is a long term ,<br />
low-interest loan at 5 percent. Applicants<br />
must demonstrate financial need and carry<br />

receiving a Perkins Loan for the first<br />
time after July 1, 1987, repayment begins<br />
nine months after a srudent graduates or<br />
ceases to be enrolled at least half-time. For a<br />
borrower who has an outstanding balance<br />
on a loan received prior to July 1, 1987,<br />
repayment begins six months after the borrower<br />
graduates or ceases to be entailed at<br />
least half-time. All repayment periods are a<br />
maximum <strong>of</strong> 10 years.
Federal Stafford Loan Programs<br />
A separate application is required (available<br />
from the participating lenders). Further<br />

Master <strong>of</strong> Business Administration (M.B.A.)<br />
In today's dynamic marketplace, successful managers must be innovative and entrepreneurial,<br />
combining a general knowledge <strong>of</strong> business functions with specific skills in their<br />
area <strong>of</strong> responsibility. The Merrick School's Master <strong>of</strong> Business Administration Program<br />
was developed to provide students with this expertise.<br />
In order to develop students' broad managerial skills, the 48-credit M.B.A. curriculum<br />
includes a core <strong>of</strong>six basic business courses and 18 credits in cross-functional courses.<br />
Twelve credits <strong>of</strong> electives give depth to the program. Students may select four electives to<br />
meet their specific career goals or choose from among the following ten specialization<br />
groupings: decision technologies; global e-commerce, entrepreneurship; finance; health<br />
care management; human resource management; international business; management<br />
information systems; marketing; and service and manufacturing operations.<br />
BASIC SKIW RECOMMENDED FOR INCOMING M.B.A. STUDENTS<br />
In addition to meeting the academic standards for admission, M.B.A. students should<br />
bring to graduate business studies the following skills to ensure success in the program:<br />
• Quantitative skills: knowledge <strong>of</strong> algebra and basic calculus<br />
• Verbal skills: The ability to collect relevant information, organize thoughts and<br />
communicate them clearly<br />
• Computer skills: Competence in word processing, spread sheets, presentation s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />
and Internet usage<br />
Students may obtain or enhance these skills before admission or early in their programs<br />
<strong>of</strong> study by utilizing the many programs, courses and training sessions <strong>of</strong>fered by the<br />
<strong>University</strong>.<br />
PROGRAMS AND FOCUS<br />
The hallmark <strong>of</strong> the M.B.A. at the Merrick School is flexibility in delivering high-quality<br />
educational experiences. There are five tracks leading to the M.B.A. The flex M.B.A. track,<br />
a conventional 15-week semester evening program; the Advantage M.B.A. track, which is<br />
a full-time, one-year, fast-track option; the Saturday M.B.A. track, a convenient weekend<br />
program; the WebMBA track, which is delivered entirely via the Internet; and the Custom<br />
track, in which students are able to combine course schedules and delivery modes to best<br />
meet their needs. (Scheduling options are described in more detail at the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
M.B.A. <strong>Special</strong>izations.)<br />
Depending on the student's academic background 30 to 48 credits are required.<br />
Courses covering a basic knowledge <strong>of</strong> business functions account for up to 18 credits. Of<br />
the remaining 30 credits, 18 are in required cross-functional areas <strong>of</strong> business practice and<br />
12 are selected as either part <strong>of</strong> a defined specialization or electives.<br />

in finance, allowing students more rigorous, specialized training in this functional<br />
discipline.<br />
There have been major developments in the business world over the past decade. These<br />
include the globalization <strong>of</strong> financial and product markets, technological advances in the<br />

innovation and corporate restructuring. Since these changes are expected to continue<br />
to have a major impact on the conduct <strong>of</strong> business and financial affairs, individuals will<br />
need the more sophisticated level <strong>of</strong> training that the M .S. in Finance provides. Our faculty<br />
members call upon their diverse experiences in the academic and business arenas to<br />
provide students with a program that meets this need. The program will enhance both<br />
local and global career opportunities in corporate finance, securities research and investment<br />
management, and the operation and oversight <strong>of</strong> financial institutions.<br />

Master <strong>of</strong>Science in Accounting and<br />
Business Advisory Services<br />
Susan Lynn, Adviser<br />
The Master <strong>of</strong> Science in Accounting and Business Advisory Services program is designed<br />
to meet two important educational objectives. First, when combined with a bachelor's<br />
degree in accounting, the program allows students to earn the additional credits necessary<br />
to meet the 150-hour requirement to sit for the Uniform Certified Public Accountant<br />
(CPA) exam in Maryland and many other states. The revised CPA exam (as <strong>of</strong>November<br />
<strong>2003</strong>) includes a section called Business Environment and Concepts which is composed <strong>of</strong><br />
questions related to finance (22% - 28%) and information technology (I7% - 23%), as<br />
well as other topics currently covered by an undergraduate accounting degree. Students<br />
planning to take the revised CPA exam will be best served by a program <strong>of</strong>study that<br />
emphasizes the same subject matter as the exam. Second, by incorporating courses in the<br />
related disciplines <strong>of</strong> financial management and information technology, the program<br />
complements the technical skills acquired in an undergraduate accounting education.<br />
Graduates <strong>of</strong> the M.S. in Accounting and Business Advisory Services program will have<br />
the flexibility needed to accelerate their public accounting careers or pursue careers in<br />
other areas such as management accounting, internal auditing, accounting for governmental<br />
or other non-pr<strong>of</strong>it entities and management consulting.<br />
Although the program is designed to complement an undergraduate degree in accounting,<br />
the program can also accommodate students without undergraduate degrees in<br />
accounting. Students who meet the admissions requirements for graduate study in the<br />
Merrick School <strong>of</strong> Business are admitted to the program but are required to satisfy undergraduate<br />
accounting degree equivalency in conjunction with completion <strong>of</strong> the program.<br />
These students will need to take the Preparatory Courses listed below in addition to the<br />
required 30 hours in the M.S. in Accounting and Business Advisory Services program.<br />

Master <strong>of</strong> Science in Taxation<br />
Fred Brown, Director (Scho<strong>of</strong> o/Law)<br />
The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong>'s M.S. in Taxation program was established in response ro the<br />
increasing complexity <strong>of</strong> the field <strong>of</strong> taxation and its critical impact on the effective management<br />
<strong>of</strong> business, financial, industrial, governmental and nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organizations. The<br />
objective <strong>of</strong> the program is not only ro prepare students for careers as pr<strong>of</strong>essional tax<br />
advisers for these organizations, but also to sharpen their skills and knowledge in a sophisticated<br />
and challenging educational environment created by the caliber <strong>of</strong> the students<br />
themselves, most <strong>of</strong> whom are working pr<strong>of</strong>essionals seeking career enhancement or<br />
advancement. The course <strong>of</strong> study is designed to benefit tax advisers in the legal and<br />
accounting pr<strong>of</strong>essions and pr<strong>of</strong>essionals involved in the fiscal policy and management <strong>of</strong><br />
public and nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organizations.<br />
Graduate courses in taxation focus on the interrelationship <strong>of</strong> tax policy with the political<br />
environment and with national social and economic objectives. The program enables<br />
the student to develop broad technical competence in the procedural and substantive provisions<br />
<strong>of</strong>current tax Jaw and to engage in research dealing with the theoretical aspects <strong>of</strong><br />
taxation. The program also emphasizes the development <strong>of</strong> strong communication skills so<br />
that students learn to express their ideas and research findings clearly and persuasively.<br />
The Master <strong>of</strong> Science in Taxation program along with an undergraduate degree in<br />
accounting may fulfill the 150 hours <strong>of</strong>education required to take the Uniform CPA<br />
Examination in the State <strong>of</strong> Maryland. Because course work completed as parr <strong>of</strong> an<br />
undergraduate degree in accounting may vary, students are advised to contact the Maryland<br />
State Board <strong>of</strong> Accountancy for the specific course requirements. Students who wish<br />
to sit for the CPA examination in other jurisdictions should contact that state's Board <strong>of</strong><br />
Accountancy to determine that jurisdiction's specific requirements for taking the examination<br />
and subsequent licensing.<br />
The Master <strong>of</strong>Science in Taxation degree is based on the student's having an undergraduate<br />
degree in business with a major in accounting or its equivalent. It is a 30-hour<br />
program with seven required courses covering the basic areas <strong>of</strong> taxation. A variety <strong>of</strong>electives<br />
in specialized areas <strong>of</strong> taxation is available to complete the program's required 30<br />
hours <strong>of</strong> coursework. An individual program <strong>of</strong>study is designed for each student that<br />
meets the student's career objective.<br />
Persons who do not have the accounting degree or equivalency, but who meet the<br />
admissions requirements for graduate study in the Merrick School <strong>of</strong> Business, are admitted<br />
to the program but are required to satisfy equivalency in conjunction with completion<br />
<strong>of</strong> the program. To meet equivalency requirements students may be required to complete<br />
the preparatory courses required for the M .S. in Accounting and Business Advisory<br />
Services as well as the core requirements for the M.S. in Business, <strong>Special</strong>ization in<br />
Finance.<br />

Master <strong>of</strong>Business Administration/Juris Doctor<br />
Graduate Adviser<br />
With society becoming increasingly complex, the administration <strong>of</strong> private and public<br />
business enrerprises requires greater interaction with the legal system. Concurrenr with<br />
this development, there is an increasing need for lawyers who are fully trained in administration<br />
and management. A currenr practice <strong>of</strong> modern pr<strong>of</strong>essional graduate and law<br />
schools is the inclusion <strong>of</strong>some study in a complementary discipline as an integral pan <strong>of</strong><br />
their separate programs.<br />
In recognition <strong>of</strong> this interdisciplinary need, the Merrick School <strong>of</strong> Business has<br />
authorized a combined degree program with both the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> School <strong>of</strong><br />
Law and the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Maryland at <strong>Baltimore</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Law. These twO dual degree<br />
programs lead to both the ].0. and the M.B.A. The program is designed to give students<br />
the most relevant courses in a sequence that most effectively utilizes the relation inherent<br />
between these courses in the two schools.<br />
The M.B.A.lJ.O. program allows a student to obtain M .B.A. and J.D. degrees in an<br />
integrated sequence <strong>of</strong> courses over a three- to four-year period. The Law School will<br />
transfer nine credits <strong>of</strong> required M.B.A. courses as law electives. The Merrick School will<br />
transfer nine credits <strong>of</strong> law electives as M.B.A. electives.<br />
ADMISSION AND ADVISEMENT<br />
Students need to apply and be admitted into both the Law School and the Merrick<br />
School. The LSAT may be used in lieu <strong>of</strong> the GMAT, if the student has been accepted into<br />
the Law School. The M.B.A.I].O. adviser prepares a program plan <strong>of</strong> study. This plan lists<br />
the courses required to meet the M.B.A. degree requirements. The School <strong>of</strong> Law also<br />
counsels students particularly with regard to blending the degree requirements. Students<br />
do not take business courses during the first year <strong>of</strong> law school and either begin their<br />
M.B.A. after the first year, or interrupt the M.B.A. for two semesters.<br />

PROFESSIONAL APPUCATIONS IN "HE LIBERAL ARTS<br />
The Yale Gordon College <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts, an upper-division and graduate institution,<br />
awards bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees rhat combine traditional liberal arts and<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional studies. This combination, emphasizing inter- and cross-disciplinary work,<br />
makes rhe College unique among rhe institutions wirhin the <strong>University</strong> System <strong>of</strong><br />
Maryland and allows students to pursue academic programs rhat prepare them for rhe<br />
work <strong>of</strong> the world as well as for rhe life <strong>of</strong> the mind.<br />
The College was founded in 1937 as a junior college emphasizing the liberal arts. In<br />
1961, it became a four-year institution <strong>of</strong>fering day and evening classes, and <strong>of</strong>fered its<br />
first graduate program in 1974. Since 1975, it has been an upper-division college and<br />
graduate school.<br />
In 1982, the College was named for Yale Gordon, a <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> alumnus<br />
and businessman who understood the central importance <strong>of</strong> the humanities in higher<br />
education and in the life <strong>of</strong>a community. Thus, wirh his wife, he established the Peggy<br />
and Yale Gordon Trust, which supports organizations, including the Yale Gordon<br />
College, that are dedicated to advancing the humanities. Along wirh this endowment<br />
from the Gordon Trust, the College is supported by a Challenge Grant from the National<br />
Endowment for rhe Humanities and by endowment grants from the Hearst Foundation,<br />
rhe Helen P. Denit Foundation, rhe Klein Family, and others. Support for developing the<br />
General Education Core Curriculum was provided by a planning grant from rhe<br />
National Endowment for the Humanities and by rhe Fund for the Improvement <strong>of</strong><br />
Postsecondary Education.<br />
The College's mission is to advance pr<strong>of</strong>essional applications <strong>of</strong> the liberal arts, that is ,<br />
to define and explore the linkages between the intellectual and rhe practical, the theoretical<br />
and the functional, and to apply rhe insights and critical perspectives <strong>of</strong> rhe liberal<br />
arts disciplines to pr<strong>of</strong>essional studies. The nature <strong>of</strong> the College, which <strong>of</strong>fers only graduate<br />
and advanced undergraduate programs, helps make this concentrated, innovative<br />
focus possible.<br />
The purpose, strengths, and <strong>of</strong>ferings <strong>of</strong> the Yale Gordon College are targeted toward<br />
students who are interested in establishing and/or advancing their careers in specific areas<br />
in the humanities and social sciences. Most graduate students in the college work full- or<br />
part-time, and most classes take place in rhe evenings, some on weekends. Student services<br />
are also available during evening hours.<br />
The College places considerable importance on research and public service as well as on<br />
teaching. Theoretical and applied research among faculty members enhances the quality <strong>of</strong><br />
the academic programs and represents a significant benefit to students, and in several<br />
areas, faculty members enjoy national recognition for rheir work. As a public institution,<br />
the College recognizes its responsibility to the state and the <strong>Baltimore</strong> metropolitan area<br />
and carries out this responsibility in numerous ways, notably through rhe work <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Schaefer Center for Public Policy, rhe Institute for Language, Technology, and Publications<br />
Design, rhe Center for Negotiations and Conflict Management, the Center for<br />
66
<strong>Baltimore</strong> Studies, the <strong>University</strong>'s H<strong>of</strong>fberger Center for Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Ethics, and various<br />
specific projects undertaken in conjunction with the Merrick School <strong>of</strong> Business and the<br />
School <strong>of</strong> Law.<br />
The Yale Gordon College's combination <strong>of</strong> the liberal arrs and pr<strong>of</strong>essional studies has<br />
long included integrated, interdisciplinary curricula for individual degree programs. The<br />
College aims to stimulate the integration <strong>of</strong>disciplines at fundamental levels, to foster<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional applications <strong>of</strong> the liberal arts, and to encourage research and development <strong>of</strong><br />
new program and approaches to learning.<br />
DIVISIONS AND SCHOOLS<br />

which conjoins [wo or more disciplines. The three divisions focus primarily on academic<br />
work, and the three schools include academic divisions as well as research and service arms.<br />

The graduate programs in the Yale Gordon College <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts are designed to advance<br />
and forge pr<strong>of</strong>essional applications <strong>of</strong> the liberal artS, and all are based on a combination<br />
<strong>of</strong> theory and practice. They are founded on the idea that pr<strong>of</strong>essional studies at the graduate<br />
level must be broad based and rooted in the liberal arts, in order to prepare students<br />
for a constantly changing world; as well as skills-specific, in order to provide students with<br />
the mastery <strong>of</strong> knowledge necessary for superior pr<strong>of</strong>essional performance.<br />
The College also encourages students to develop specializations that combine elements<br />
<strong>of</strong> rwo or more master's programs. For example, students in the M.P.A. program may take<br />
courses in Publications Design in order to master the skills <strong>of</strong> shaping and communicating<br />
ideas in the public arena. Similarly, students in Legal and Ethical Studies and Applied<br />
Psychology may take courses in the M.P.A. program so as to sharpen management skills<br />
and prepare for careers in the public and not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it sectors. Such combinations <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
an exceptionally btoad range <strong>of</strong> opportunities, and the College continues to develop formal<br />
specializations that cross and integrate the academic divisions.<br />

FACULTY: Bailey, Fisher, Kohl, Markowitz, Masreangelo, Mitchell, Neemann, Singleron<br />
ADJUNCT OR AFFILIATED PROFESSORS: Lasson, Lynn, Pelletier, Potthast<br />
The Master <strong>of</strong> Science in Applied Psychology <strong>of</strong>fers training in the application <strong>of</strong> psychological<br />
knowledge and skills ro a variety <strong>of</strong> human situations. The curriculum is designed<br />
to provide a grounding in the science <strong>of</strong> psychology with an emphasis on statistical analyses,<br />
psychological assessment, and research designs. Students select one <strong>of</strong> three tracks<br />
(Counseling Psychology, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, or Psychological Applications)<br />
ro learn specific skills for their individual career goals.<br />
The Counseling track, when combined with UB's Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Counselor Pre-Licensure<br />
program, prepares srudents for licensure in the State <strong>of</strong>Maryland as a Master's level counselor.<br />
As a preeminent location for health care, <strong>Baltimore</strong> features high quality hospitals and<br />
mental health agencies. Students are frequently placed in exciting positions from inpatient<br />
hospitals, residential programs, outpatient programs, and substance abuse clinics.<br />
The Industrial/Organizational (I/O) track is designed ro meet the APA's Division for<br />
Industrial and Organizational Psychology Guidelines regarding Master's level I/O practitioners.<br />
Students from this reack benefit from the vast number <strong>of</strong> high quality paid internship<br />
opportunities in <strong>Baltimore</strong>, Washington, and northern Virginia. Our students and<br />
graduates are employed by the State <strong>of</strong> Maryland, the federal government, private industry,<br />
and consulting firms as Personnel <strong>Special</strong>ists, Job Analysts, Training <strong>Special</strong>ists,<br />
Human Resource Managers, and Consultants.<br />
The Psychological Applications track is for students who seek a career in neither counselling<br />
nor I/O, and it requires a 9 credit hour specialization using a UB graduate program<br />
outside <strong>of</strong> psychology (e.g., forensic/criminal justice, conflict management, communication,<br />
public administration, health systems management). The philosophy <strong>of</strong> this third<br />
(rack is to learn the methods <strong>of</strong> psychology, but apply them ro other disciplines.<br />
Most classes have between 10 and 25 students, meet once or twice a week, and are<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered in the late afternoon or evening ro accommodate jobs and internships. Across<br />
courses our faculty emphasize oral and written communication skills as well as relevant<br />
computer skills regarding (for example) SPSS, Power Point, and the Internet. Thus, the<br />
program provides training for a career or for application ro a docroral program.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
Admission ro the Applied Psychology program is determined based on the following parts<br />
<strong>of</strong> the application: Grade Point Average (calculated across all undergraduate institutions),<br />
full transcripts <strong>of</strong> undergraduate courses and graduate courses (if applicable), GRE scores<br />

FACULTY: Members <strong>of</strong> the Division <strong>of</strong>Applied Psychology and Quantitative Methods<br />
The post-master's Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Counselor Pre-Licensure Program, <strong>of</strong>fered by the Division<br />
<strong>of</strong> Applied Psychology and Quantitative Methods, provides students a guided path to State<br />
licensure as a Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Counselor. Each student is assigned an adviser who will design,<br />
around his/her previous coursework, a customized program <strong>of</strong> study that will meet the<br />
preconditions necessary to sit for the National and State Counseling Exam required by the<br />
State Board <strong>of</strong> Examiners for Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Counselors.<br />
The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong>'s graduate curriculum in applied psychology includes<br />
courses that cover all <strong>of</strong> the required content areas for licensure. Further, the division routinely<br />
<strong>of</strong>fers at least twO evening courses during each <strong>of</strong> the fall and spring semesters that<br />
cover required content areas and at least one such course over the summer. Some courses<br />
are <strong>of</strong>fered at the Gateway Center in Howard County both in the evenings and on<br />
Saturdays.<br />
To become licensed as a Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Counselor, one must have a master's degree in<br />
counseling or a related field, and have completed 60 graduate credit hours, including the<br />
master's degree. Of these 60 credits, 12 core courses in various psychological areas are<br />
required. Also, 3000 hours <strong>of</strong> supervised clinical experience is required.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
Admission to this program requires a master's degree in counseling or a related area.<br />
Applied Assessment and Consulting,<br />
Doctorate in Psychology (Psy.D.)<br />
Dr. Deborah Kohl, Program Director<br />
FACULTY: Fisher, Kohl, Mitchell, Neemann, Singleton, Walz<br />
The Psy.D. in Applied Assessment and Consulting is a first pr<strong>of</strong>essional degree program<br />
that educates psychologists in the application <strong>of</strong> psychological theory, measurement theory,<br />
assessment techniques, research methods, and quantitative skills to the assessment,<br />
evaluation and development <strong>of</strong> organizations.<br />
The psychologist with a Psy.D. in Applied Assessment and Consulting works<br />
autonomously as an internal or external consultant to assist private and public sector<br />
employers in assessing and improving their organizational functioning. The Psy.D. in<br />
Applied Assessment and Consulting provides practitioners with the skills to measure individual<br />
and organization performance by using methodologies common to all sub-disciplines<br />
<strong>of</strong> psychology while implementing behavioral change techniques found in both<br />
industrial/organizational and clinical/counseling psychology. These assessments are used to<br />
evaluate accountability and to develop and implement programs designed to increase organizational<br />
effectiveness.<br />
77
This degree is designed for individuals who hold master's degrees in industrial/organizational<br />
psychology, counseling psychology, clinical social work, or career counseling; and<br />
for individuals with a doctorate in psychology who are seeking skiJls that will permit a<br />
career change into organizational consulting. Members <strong>of</strong> both <strong>of</strong> these groups realize that<br />
additional training in assessment and increased knowledge <strong>of</strong>organizational structure and<br />
function will permit them to work independently, autonomously and without other pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
supervision. They also are aware <strong>of</strong> the demand for individuals with these skiJls<br />
and this knowledge base.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />

Biological Basis <strong>of</strong> Behavior, Cognitive Psychology, Social Psychology, Developmental<br />
Psychology, Tests and Measurements, Intermediate Statistics, and Research Methods.<br />
If there are deficiencies in one or more <strong>of</strong> these areas, the applicant may be admitted to<br />
the doctoral program, but would be required to complete courses providing these competencies<br />
at the master's level in the Division's master's degree program.<br />
All applicants must submit the following: 1) GRE scores for both the general aptitude<br />
portion <strong>of</strong> the GRE and the Psychology Test <strong>of</strong> the GRE; 2) complete transcripts <strong>of</strong><br />
undergraduate and graduate education; 3) three letters <strong>of</strong> recommendation; and, 4) a<br />

The Master <strong>of</strong> Science program in Human Services Administration is a fully collaborative<br />
joint program between Coppin State College and <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong>.<br />
Under the guidance <strong>of</strong> the program directors, students take courses on both campuses,<br />
receiving a joint degree from both institutions.<br />
The 36-credit curriculum prepares students for pr<strong>of</strong>eSsional careers in the field <strong>of</strong><br />
human services administration in a variety <strong>of</strong> settings (corporate, governmental, nonpr<strong>of</strong>it<br />
and community). Through 18 credits <strong>of</strong> required coursework, students will<br />
have the opportunity to develop administrative abilities in the areas <strong>of</strong> planning, evaluation,<br />
leadership and decision-making. Then, students will individualize their course<br />
<strong>of</strong>study by choosing 12 credits <strong>of</strong> coursework in an approved human services content<br />
area such as counseling psychology, entrepreneurship, health care systems, negotiations<br />
and conflict management, addictions counseling, family counseling, gerontology,<br />
rehabilitation counseling, special education, and community recreation for the<br />
disabled. The capstone experience is student's choice <strong>of</strong>six credits <strong>of</strong> field experience,<br />
or six credits <strong>of</strong> research in program planning, implementation and/or evaluation.<br />
The market demand for human service administrators is high. Nationally and in<br />
Maryland, the job opportunity growth rate is outpacing the number <strong>of</strong> trained pr<strong>of</strong>essionals.<br />
Those with the Master <strong>of</strong>Science degree in Human Services<br />
Administration will be uniquely positioned to take advantage <strong>of</strong> this growth sector <strong>of</strong><br />
the economy, while making significant contributions to human service agencies in a<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> administrative capacities such as: program planning, implementation and<br />
evaluation; grant writing and administration; fundraising; personnel and fiscal<br />
administration; and community outreach.<br />

credits in law school and a minimum <strong>of</strong> 36 credits in the M .S. program. However, the<br />

its program and the Criminal Justice program reciprocally allows the transfer <strong>of</strong> nine credits<br />
<strong>of</strong> law school courses to satisfY coursework requirements in its program. Thus, students<br />
who are admitted to this program have the opponuniry to obtain both the J.D. degree and<br />
M.S. in Criminal Justice for 15 fewer credits than would be required were the rwo degrees<br />
obtained independently.<br />

FACULTY: Members <strong>of</strong> the Division <strong>of</strong> Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Social Policy,<br />
and the Division <strong>of</strong>Government and Public Administration.<br />
The graduate certificate program in Police Administration, <strong>of</strong>fered by the Division <strong>of</strong><br />
Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Social Policy, provides an intensive and focused course<br />
<strong>of</strong>study in management and administration designed for individuals already employed in<br />
the police field. Upon the successful completion <strong>of</strong> the 2 I-credit program, students are<br />
awarded the graduate certificate in Police Administration.<br />
The certificate is not in any respect the equivalent <strong>of</strong>a master's degree, but rather recognizes<br />
the completion <strong>of</strong> a unique and rigorous course <strong>of</strong>graduate study. Students may<br />
elect to continue their studies toward a master's degree. The certificate program is specifically<br />
articulated with the M.S. in Criminal Justice and Master <strong>of</strong> Public Administration<br />
degrees.<br />
The 21 -credit certificate program consists <strong>of</strong> four required courses and three electives.<br />
Of the required courses, two are <strong>of</strong>fered by the Division <strong>of</strong> Criminology, Criminal Justice,<br />
and Social Policy and two by the Division <strong>of</strong>Government and Public Administration.<br />
With the elective courses, students choose to specialize in personnel administration, labor<br />
relations, program analysis and evaluation, or general administration. Completion <strong>of</strong> this<br />
program provides police personnel with knowledge and skills directly relevant to the management<br />
and administration <strong>of</strong>police organizations.<br />

Dr. Virginia Kirby-Smith Carrurhers, Program Director<br />
FACULTY: Carrutbers, Fitz, Gibson, Gold, Kaplan, Magida, Matanle, Moulthrop,<br />

WRITERS IN RESIDENCE: Keller, Kopelke, Magida<br />

Montfort, Pointer, Segreti, Spencer, Stri((mater, Thomas,Wasmer, Weiss<br />
The Master <strong>of</strong>Am in Publications Design is administered by the Division <strong>of</strong> English and<br />
Communications Design in the School <strong>of</strong> Communications Design. Combining theory<br />
and practice, the liberal arts and skills training, words and images, the Master <strong>of</strong>Arts in<br />
Publications Design integrates conceptual tbinking, writing, and graphic design-in both<br />
traditional and new electronic media. Founded in tbe late 1970s, the program anticipated<br />
the day when computers would make possible (if not require) such an integrated<br />
approach. The evolving curriculum has consistently prepared students to adapt to <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
rapid changes in publications technology.<br />
Students come to tbe Publications Design program from a wide variety <strong>of</strong>educational<br />
backgrounds and employment histories. Their undergraduate majors range from tbe predictable<br />
(English, journalism, mass communication, graphic design, studio art) to tbe<br />
unexpected (geography, music, foreign languages, biology, business administration).<br />
Though many are already working in publications as writers or designers, a good number<br />
have no experience in tbe field . What these students share is a fascination witb tbe interaction<br />
<strong>of</strong> words and images and a commitment to exploring new modes <strong>of</strong> visual and verbal<br />
communication.<br />
The faculty includes scholars, literary and media critics, graphic designers, hypermedia<br />
specialists, fiction and nonfiction writers, poets, film-makers and videographers, and publications<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionals who, like the program itself, combine the intellectual, the academic,<br />
and tbe worldly. Also, adjunct pr<strong>of</strong>essors from <strong>Baltimore</strong>'s sophisticated publications community<br />
share their expertise in advanced courses in writing, design, and business practices.<br />
CURRICULAR OPTIONS<br />
Applicants choose from among tbree options. The principal program in Publications<br />
Design is appropriate for students who are interested in the integration <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
writing and graphic design in public relations, advertising, corporate publications, journalism,<br />
and magazine editing and design. The specialization in Creative Writing and<br />
Publishing Arts is tailored for writers <strong>of</strong> fiction, literary nonfiction, and poetry who would<br />
like to explore nontraditional avenues to publication <strong>of</strong>creative work. The specialization<br />
in Media Design <strong>of</strong>fers students the opportunity to focus on tbe relationships among communications<br />
theory, video production, and tbe integration <strong>of</strong> print, graphic design, and<br />
aural and visual images. Students in tbe principal program and either <strong>of</strong> tbe two specializa<br />
95
tions may elect courses in hypermedia which explore the role <strong>of</strong> writing and design in electronic<br />
publishing.<br />
Each <strong>of</strong> the three options involves the completion <strong>of</strong> 36 credits <strong>of</strong> course work. All<br />
three share a set <strong>of</strong> core requirements, including fWO 6-credit, team-taught courses that<br />
frame the program; an advanced writing course; an elective from a category <strong>of</strong> courses<br />
focusing on significant backgrounds and ideas that inform both writing and design; and a<br />
course concerned with business practices relevant to publications pr<strong>of</strong>essionals. (Specific<br />
requirements for each option are detailed on subsequent pages.) The minimum amount <strong>of</strong><br />
time in which a student can complete a degree is four semesters. Since many students are<br />
working lUll time, it is more common to take six or even eight semesters. To accommodate<br />
working students, all courses are <strong>of</strong>fered in the evenings or on weekends.<br />
COURSE SEQUENCING<br />
Although there is considerable flexibility in the order in which students may take electives<br />
in writing, backgrounds and ideas, and business practices, courses involving graphic design<br />
generally have prerequisites.<br />
To enroll in PBDS 502 Workshop in Graphic Communication, a student should have<br />
a working knowledge <strong>of</strong> QuarkXPress. (The Graphics Lab <strong>of</strong>fers noncredit courses in the<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware to prepare students for the Workshop.) For students with little or no prior experience<br />
in graphic design, PBDS 502 Workshop in Graphic Communication is a prerequisite<br />
for PBDS 601 Writing and Graphics: Integration <strong>of</strong>Forms and for all advanced design<br />
courses.<br />
Ordinarily, a student is not permitted to enroll in any advanced design course (for<br />
example, PBDS 640 Design Principles and Strategies, PBDS 645 Typographic Form and<br />
Function, or PBDS 650 Advanced Design) until he or she has completed PBDS 601 or<br />
PBDS 620.<br />
In order to be eligible to enroll in PBDS 730 Seminar in Publications Design or PBDS<br />
731 Seminar in Creative Writing and Publishing, a student must have completed all other<br />
requirements for graduation, with the possible exception <strong>of</strong> three to six hours <strong>of</strong> free electives.<br />
BEYOND THE CLASSROOM<br />
Through the Institute for Language, Technology, and Publications Design, faculty and<br />
students engage in design, writing, and research projects that link the study and the practice<br />
<strong>of</strong>writing and graphic design. They undertake writing and design projects (for example,<br />
identity campaigns), produce video and multimedia presentations, and serve as<br />
consultants on publishing ventures.<br />
The Institute also <strong>of</strong>fers noncredit seminars and workshops on topics as diverse as communications<br />
law, electronic publishing, marketing and management, portfolio preparation,<br />
media relations, entrepreneurship, the art and craft <strong>of</strong> writing, and the business <strong>of</strong><br />
design.<br />
From time to time the Institute brings to campus distinguished writers, designers, and<br />
scholars, <strong>of</strong>ten with the backing <strong>of</strong> local corporations. The Institute also co-sponsors the<br />
International Lawrence Durrell Conference and Deus Loci: The Lawrence DurrellJournal,<br />
and supports Passager, a literary magazine.<br />
Selected students and alumni who are appointed Fellows <strong>of</strong> the Institute may take special<br />
courses or collaborate with faculty members on significant projects. Members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
faculty who are particularly active in developing or supporting projects are designated<br />
Senior Fellows <strong>of</strong> the Institute.<br />
96

The group projects prepared each spring by students enrolled in the capstone Seminar in<br />
Publications Design are judged by a jury <strong>of</strong> publications pr<strong>of</strong>essionals. Prizes awarded to<br />
the winning projects include The Agora Publishing Award, presented for a traditional print<br />

practical applications, contemporary problems, and historical and philosophical perspectives.<br />
All courses are in the evenings.<br />
The curriculum is divided into three general areas. First, introductory courses provide<br />
students with a foundation for advanced study and for the development <strong>of</strong> research and<br />
writing skills. Second, advanced courses focus on basic concepts and contemporary issues<br />
in particular areas <strong>of</strong>law, philosophy, and historical inquiry. Third, students may take several<br />
electives in other graduate programs for the purpose <strong>of</strong> broadening or deepening their<br />
knowledge, or exploring other disciplines related to their educational objectives.<br />
The program is most appropriate for the student who is motivated by intellectual interest<br />
as well as career goals. * Courses emphasize the connections berween knowledge and<br />
practice. The curriculum serves the serious student aiming for a liberal arts master's degree,<br />
while also serving career-oriented students with a desire for graduate courses in specialized<br />
areas such as business-related law, real property, pr<strong>of</strong>essional ethics, family law and public<br />
policy, constitutional issues and contemporary debates, administrative law and organization,<br />
legal and ethical issues in health care, wills and trusts, and legal and constitutional<br />
history. Advanced students may enroll in specific courses in the School <strong>of</strong> Law, School <strong>of</strong><br />
Business, and other College <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts graduate programs such as Criminal Justice,<br />

Negotiations and Conflict Management, Master <strong>of</strong>Science<br />
Dr. Donald Mulcahey, Program Director<br />
FACULTY: Selected faculty from the Yale Gordon College <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts, the Merrick<br />
School <strong>of</strong> Business and the School <strong>of</strong> Law<br />
The M.S. in Negotiations and Conflict Management is a 42-credit program designed to<br />
prepare students for pr<strong>of</strong>essional careers in the field <strong>of</strong> negotiations and conflict management.<br />
Although it is administered by the Division <strong>of</strong> Legal, Ethical, and Historical<br />
Studies, the program is intensely interdisciplinary. The curriculum draws upon the courses<br />
and expertise <strong>of</strong> all three <strong>of</strong> the Universiry's academic units: the School <strong>of</strong> Law, the<br />
Merrick School <strong>of</strong> Business and the Yale Gordon College <strong>of</strong> Liberal Arts.<br />
In addition to specialized courses in conflict theory and methods <strong>of</strong> dispute prevention<br />
and resolution, the program requires courses in a variety <strong>of</strong> disciplines that provide a specific<br />
focus on the contextual serrings in which conflicts and disputes arise, and on the<br />
potential alternatives for resolution or serrlement in that context. The infusion <strong>of</strong>/egal,<br />
business, social science, and humanities perspectives into this program is designed to challenge<br />
students to gain a broad and rich understanding <strong>of</strong>conflict and conflict management.<br />
Such understanding enhances their abiliry to develop successful careers in this<br />
rapidly growing field <strong>of</strong> scholarship and pr<strong>of</strong>essional practice, which spans both the public<br />
and private sectors.<br />
115
Comprised <strong>of</strong> theoretical and practical components designed to enhance students'<br />
understanding <strong>of</strong>conflict and their ability to manage it effectively in a variety <strong>of</strong>contextual<br />
settings, the program requirements lead the student through three levels <strong>of</strong> coursework<br />
and experience, as below:<br />
Level One - a series <strong>of</strong> three-credit Core Courses that introduce the field and enable<br />
students to develop the skills necessary for a career in the field.<br />
Level Two - a series <strong>of</strong>Advanced Perspective Courses and Electives that deepen the<br />
student's appreciation <strong>of</strong> the impact <strong>of</strong> the contextual setting on the nature, prevention<br />
and resolution <strong>of</strong> conflict, and promote an understanding <strong>of</strong> the distinction between conflict<br />
settlement and conflict resolution. When appropriate, <strong>Special</strong> Topics courses in various<br />
disciplines may be taken. Although some overlap is inevitable, Level Two courses are<br />
categorized according to their focus on one <strong>of</strong> three distinct perspectives: Individual and<br />
Interpersonal perspectives; Managerial and Governmental perspectives; and Cultural,<br />
Ethical and Policy perspectives.<br />
Level Three - the Capstone Experience, which consists <strong>of</strong> two components: a clinical<br />
experience; and a reflective paper that integrates theory and practice, and equips the student<br />
with a well thought-out approach to future involvement and pr<strong>of</strong>essional practice in<br />
the field.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
Applicants who have earned a bachelor's degree with a GPA <strong>of</strong> 3.0 or better from an<br />
accredited institution are eligible for unconditional admission to the program. Applicants<br />
must also submit a written personal statement, summarizing their experience and/or interest<br />
in the field, and they may also be required to obtain letters <strong>of</strong> recommendation and to<br />
meet with the program director.<br />
Applicants who do not meet the 3.0 GPA requirement may be eligible for conditional<br />
admission. Conditional admission is a probationary statuS affording those admitted in this<br />
category the opportunity to demonstrate performance sufficient to succeed in the program.<br />
Upon completion <strong>of</strong> 12 credits in the program, conditional students who have<br />
achieved the requisite 3.0 GPA are admitted unconditionally.<br />

The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong>'s Master <strong>of</strong> Public Administration program is accredited by<br />
the National Association <strong>of</strong> Schools <strong>of</strong> Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA).<br />
Programs seeking NASPAA accreditation must undergo a lengthy evaluation involving a<br />
detailed self-study, a site visit, and an examination by a peer group review committee comprising<br />
NASPAA members from other universities.<br />
The evaluation is based on the following criteria: quality <strong>of</strong> faculty, conrent <strong>of</strong> the curriculum,<br />
policies for admission, library and computer facilities, and placement opportunities<br />
for studenrs.<br />
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS<br />
The M.P.A. program requires students to complete 42 credits <strong>of</strong>graduate coursework.<br />
A student may graduate with Cs (2. 0) or lower in no more than two core courses.<br />
119
Students with little or no public sector work experience must successfully complete a<br />
three-credit internship. Students who have been employed for more than one year as midlevel<br />
managers, supervisors, systems analysts, personnel specialists, budget examiners, or in<br />
similar managerial positions are not required to complete an internship.<br />
All requirements for the M.P.A. degree must be completed within seven calendar years<br />
after admission. The requirements for completion <strong>of</strong> the M.P.A. degree are those listed in<br />
the catalog which is current at the time the student enters the program.<br />
The M.P.A. program also requires all incoming students to be computer literate. This<br />
can be demonstrated by passing an examination on the subject matter. The School <strong>of</strong><br />
Public Affairs <strong>of</strong>fers a series <strong>of</strong>approved workshops to help prepare students for the exam.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
To be considered for admission to the M.P.A. program, an applicant must have obtained a<br />
bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited university or college and meet the admissions<br />
criteria <strong>of</strong> the School <strong>of</strong> Public Affairs.<br />
Application materials may be obtained from the Admissions Office. The completed<br />
application form , the application fee, letters <strong>of</strong> recommendation and <strong>of</strong>ficial transcripts <strong>of</strong><br />
all prior college work must be submitted to the Admissions Office. GRE scores, when supplied<br />
voluntarily or requested, and other relevant materials must be sent directly to the<br />
program director.<br />
Applicants may be admitted to the program in two different categories - unconditional<br />
degree students and conditional degree students.<br />
Unconditional Degree Students<br />
Applicants who have achieved at least a 3.0 grade point average (B average) while completing<br />
their undergraduate degree or have 12 graduate credits with a B average may be admitted<br />
as unconditional students. Applicants are also required to submit three letters <strong>of</strong><br />
recommendation that assess a student's academic and career potentials. Students who fail<br />
to meet this standard may apply for conditional admission.<br />
Conditional Degree Students<br />
Students with less than a 3.0 undergraduate grade point average or less than a 3.0 graduate<br />
grade point average (if transferring into the M.P.A. program) may be granted conditional<br />
admission by demonstrating the potential to do graduate work. The program director will<br />
evaluate a combination <strong>of</strong> indicators <strong>of</strong> potential graduate level success, including<br />
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores; grade point average from the last two years<br />
<strong>of</strong> undergraduate work; current employment status; letters <strong>of</strong> recommendation and/or<br />
interview with applicant.<br />
The above indicators provide flexibility in evaluating students who have been out <strong>of</strong><br />
school for several years or who have demonstrated pr<strong>of</strong>essional competence and the ability<br />
to undertake graduate-level studies. In the case <strong>of</strong>practicing administrators, a record <strong>of</strong><br />
accomplishment in administrative performance will be considered in combination with<br />
the above criteria. Students admitted on a conditional basis will be granted unconditional<br />
status upon completion <strong>of</strong> 12 specified hours <strong>of</strong>graduate course work with a B average.<br />
Students who fail to do so will be dismissed from the M.P.A. program.<br />
120

C.P.A., or higher, have completed all core courses, except PUAD 626, by the start <strong>of</strong>the course,<br />
and have the permission <strong>of</strong>the program director.<br />
<strong>Special</strong>izations (9 credits required)<br />
Upon completion <strong>of</strong> the core courses, students are required to choose an area <strong>of</strong><br />
specialization based upon their personal interests and career objectives within public<br />
administration or within another graduate program <strong>of</strong>fered by the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Baltimore</strong>, e.g., applied psychology, criminal justice, legal and ethical studies, or business.<br />
<strong>Special</strong>izations outside <strong>of</strong> public administration must be developed in consultation with<br />
the student's M.P.A. faculty adviser and approved by the M.P.A. program director. A student<br />
is required to complete at least nine credits <strong>of</strong> electives within the specialization <strong>of</strong><br />
his/her choice (for pre-service students, an internship in their specialization can serve as<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the nine credits).<br />
Within public administration, the possible areas <strong>of</strong>specialization are: public policy<br />
administration, health care administration, budgeting and fiscal administration, and public<br />
and nonpr<strong>of</strong>it management. (The courses which comprise these specializations come<br />
from both public administration and other graduate programs at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Baltimore</strong>; for a listing <strong>of</strong> the courses included in these specializations, see the M.P.A.<br />
Student Handbook.) These specializations provide instruction in important subject areas<br />
and respond to the career interests <strong>of</strong>students in the M.P.A. program. The areas <strong>of</strong>specialization<br />
are as follows:<br />
121
Public Policy and Administration<br />
This specialization covers a variety <strong>of</strong> issue areas in the field <strong>of</strong> public administration. The<br />
course work provides students with knowledge in the formulation, implementation, and<br />
evaluation <strong>of</strong> public policies. Students in this area would most likely seek employment in a<br />
public agency which operates within the domain <strong>of</strong> their substantive policy fields.<br />
Health Care Policy and Administration<br />
This specialization provides students with an understanding <strong>of</strong> major administrative concerns<br />
in the health field, including the roles <strong>of</strong> managed care programs, financing the<br />
health care system, health care planning, and strategic planning for health care. It includes<br />
courses on health administration, health policy, health systems, health finance, managed<br />
care administration, and strategic health care evaluation. The program is designed for<br />
those seeking advancement in or preparing for a career in public or private health care<br />
organizations.<br />
Budgeting and Fiscal Administration<br />
This specialization covers the governmental budgeting process, the techniques <strong>of</strong> budget<br />
analysis, and fiscal management. It also includes courses which deal with accounting, public<br />
finance, public economics, cost-benefit analysis, and taxation policy. This specialization<br />
is designed for students who currently hold or anticipate taking a position as a budget analyst<br />
in a governmental agency.<br />
Public Information Management<br />
This specialization provides students with knowledge <strong>of</strong> the major issues surrounding the<br />
role <strong>of</strong> information in government senings and the application <strong>of</strong> information technology<br />
in public and nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organizations. It explores problems <strong>of</strong> governance, financing,<br />
strategic planning, organizational design, and policy at government-wide, agency, and<br />
department levels. This specialization also provides training in techniques useful for specific<br />
project design, planning, and implementation. The increasingly broad application <strong>of</strong><br />
information resource management and information technology makes this specialization<br />
<strong>of</strong> interest to those seeking advancement in, or preparing for, careers in a wide variety <strong>of</strong><br />
public and nonpr<strong>of</strong>it program areas.<br />
Public and Nonpr<strong>of</strong>it Management<br />
This specialization deals with the processes by which public agencies and nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organizations<br />
are structured and managed. Fundamental management issues such as planning,<br />
decision-making, COntrol, leadership, personnel motivation, and ethics are examined. It<br />
also includes courses on organizational design, organizational change, and organizational<br />
conflict. Srudents who are interested in nonpr<strong>of</strong>it management can explore topics such as<br />
risk management, managing volunteers, and board management. This specialization is<br />
designed for students who presently administer or envision administering programs in the<br />
public or not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it sectors.<br />
Elective Courses<br />
Students must complete their credit requirement either by taking elective courses in public<br />
administration or by selecting courses in some other appropriate <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong><br />
graduate program. All elective coursework must be approved by the student's faculty<br />
adviser and the M.P.A. program director.<br />

public sector work experience. Internships are designed to enable the student to gain<br />
practical experience as a productive member <strong>of</strong> a governmental or nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organization.<br />
There are numerous opportunities in the <strong>Baltimore</strong>-Washington area for internships in<br />
federal, State, county, city, or nonpr<strong>of</strong>it agencies.<br />
TRANSFER CREDIT<br />
A maximum <strong>of</strong> 12 graduate credits may be applied toward the M.P.A. degree for relevant<br />
graduate courses completed at other regionally accredited colleges or universities with the<br />
approval <strong>of</strong> the M.P.A. program director.<br />
123
Combined Program, J.D. and M.P.A.<br />
in Public Administration (J.D.lM.P.A.)<br />
Dr. Daniel W. Marrin, Program Director<br />
Tony Torain, Assistant Dean, School <strong>of</strong>Law<br />
The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Law and the School <strong>of</strong> Public Affairs <strong>of</strong>fer students<br />
the opportunity to obtain Juris Doctor 0.0.) and Master <strong>of</strong> Public Administration<br />
(M.P.A.) degrees by completing an integrated sequence <strong>of</strong>courses over a three- to fouryear<br />
period.<br />
Students seeking the combined degree will find their training useful in managerial and<br />
legal positions in federal, state, or local government agencies, and in not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it or<br />
quasi-governmental organizations. Students in the combined program will be required to<br />
complete a minimum <strong>of</strong>90 credits in law school and a minimum <strong>of</strong> 42 credits in the<br />
M.P.A. program . However, the School <strong>of</strong> Law recognizes nine credits <strong>of</strong> the M.P.A. core<br />
requirements as transferable to its program, and the M.P.A. program reciprocally allows<br />
the transfer <strong>of</strong> 12 credits <strong>of</strong> law school courses to satisfY course requirements in its program.<br />
Specifically, the M.P.A. program agrees to waive PUAD 627 Legal and Ethical<br />
Environment <strong>of</strong> Public Administration for students in the combined program as well as<br />
nine additional credit hours.<br />
Thus, students who are admitted to this program have the opportunity to obtain both<br />
the J.D. degree and the M.P.A. degree for 18 fewer credits than would be required were<br />
the rwo degrees obtained independently. All other requirements for the J.D. degree apply<br />
to students in this program.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
Applicants for the joint program must meet the admissions standards <strong>of</strong> both the School <strong>of</strong><br />
Law and the School <strong>of</strong> Public Affairs. Students can enter the combined program after having<br />
enrolled in either the J.D. or M.P.A. program. To obtain the full benefit <strong>of</strong> the creditsharing<br />
under the combined program, Public Administration students should enter the law<br />
school program no later than after the completion <strong>of</strong> 15 credits in the M.P.A. program.<br />
LAW SCHOOL CRITERIA<br />
Admission to the School <strong>of</strong> Law is determined by the Committee on Admissions, which<br />
bases its decisions on a variety <strong>of</strong> factors. This committee, which is composed <strong>of</strong> members<br />
<strong>of</strong> the faculty, the Associate Dean for Admissions, and student representatives, evaluates all<br />
material in an applicant's file but places substantial emphasis on the cumulative undergraduate<br />
grade point average and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score. In most<br />
cases, a combination <strong>of</strong> these criteria will be sufficient for the admissions decision.<br />
The committee also recognizes non-traditional factors that may be relevant in determining<br />
the applicant's ability to complete law school successfully. The committee seeks to<br />
include persons <strong>of</strong> diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. It considers the level<br />
<strong>of</strong> difficulty <strong>of</strong> the undergraduate field <strong>of</strong>study, graduate degrees, and other indications<br />
not susceptible to measurement by traditional academic criteria, such as demonstrated<br />
ability to overcome adversity. individual achievement. motivation, work experience. and<br />
character.<br />

DESCRIPTION<br />
The Doctorate <strong>of</strong> Public Administration (D.P.A.) at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> is an<br />
applied degree program dedicated to providing in-service public and quasi-public managers<br />
wim me substantive skills, knowledge, and values that are needed to direct me public<br />
service in me 21st century. In our evolving public sector environment, high level managers<br />
need skills in me political arena, and mey need to be able to reflect on their roles in a democratic<br />
society and to understand the ethical requirements <strong>of</strong> operating in me public trust.<br />
Also, to an increasing degree they need me skills to enable their agencies and subordinates<br />
to seek measurable goals based on me defined needs <strong>of</strong> meir relevant stakeholders.<br />
They need to be able to generate measures <strong>of</strong> outcomes mey provide to meir target audiences,<br />
and to interpret and explain mose ourcomes to their stakeholders. Furthermore,<br />
they need to be able to anticipate changes in their environment, and to have me flexibility<br />
and the skills to adapt their programs so mey can continue to meet stakeholder needs.<br />
To accomplish those goals, me D.P.A. curriculum is structured in me following manner:<br />
• core courses on the meoretical and historical foundations <strong>of</strong> me field, providing a context<br />
in which the modern emphasis on strategic management techniques evolved;<br />
• core courses on statistical techniques, program evaluation, and analytical techniques;<br />
• core courses on decision-making techniques, financial analysis, and the interpersonal<br />
and social skills required to communicate organizational goals and performance standards;<br />
and,<br />
• a final project in which the skills described above are applied to an analysis <strong>of</strong> an existing<br />
public or quasi-public agency.<br />
126
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
To be considered for admission to the D.P.A. program, an applicant must have obtained a<br />
master's degree from a regionally accredited university or college and meet the admissions<br />
criteria <strong>of</strong> the School <strong>of</strong> Public Affairs. All admissions decisions are made by the D. P.A.<br />
Admissions Committee, which is composed <strong>of</strong> selected members <strong>of</strong> the faculty who teach<br />
in the program. Application materials may be obtained from the Admissions Office <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong>.<br />
Completed application packets must be submitted to the <strong>University</strong> by April 1 preceding<br />
admission for the Fall semester. Completed application packets contain:<br />
1) the completed application form with the application fee;<br />
2) three letters <strong>of</strong> recommendation, at least one <strong>of</strong> which should be from someone familiar<br />
with the applicant's academic potential;<br />
3) a resume showing significant managerial experience (a typical student will have at least<br />
5 to 10 years <strong>of</strong> significant management or related experience);<br />
4) a personal statement <strong>of</strong> at least 1000 words explaining the applicant's general philosophy<br />
<strong>of</strong> management and reason for pursuing this degree; and,<br />
5) scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or, with the Director's permission,<br />

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS<br />
Students are expected to bring to the D.P.A. program a master's degree in public administration<br />
or a related discipline, and enough managerial experience to understand the basics<br />
<strong>of</strong> budgeting, human resources, and related managerial functions. To the extent that the<br />
D.P.A. program director determines that the incoming student is deficient in some <strong>of</strong> the<br />
basics needed to perform well in doctoral-level core courses, one or more M.P.A. core<br />
courses (see relevant section <strong>of</strong> this catalog) might be required as prerequisites. The<br />
requirements for the D.P.A. must be completed within seven academic years.<br />

Competency Tests in Computer Technology and in Statistics<br />
Early in their programs, students must pass examinations <strong>of</strong>fered by the School <strong>of</strong> Public<br />
Affairs to demonstrate competence in the use <strong>of</strong> selected computer technology and in statistics.<br />
Satisfactory performance in these examinations may be prerequisites ro some<br />
courses.<br />
Final Project/Organizational Analysis (6 credits)<br />
Two requirements must be completed prior to the student beginning work on his/her findl<br />
project:<br />
The final written project has three primary purposes. First, it affords students an opportunity<br />
to demonstrate to the faculty's satisfaction their ability to apply the theoretical, substantive,<br />
practical, and methodological knowledge, skills, and values acquired during their<br />
coursework in the D.P.A. program. Second, the project affords students an opportunity to<br />
apply what they have learned to a topic that not only has personal and pr<strong>of</strong>essional meaning<br />
to them, but also advances the quality <strong>of</strong> the practice <strong>of</strong> public administration in policy<br />
or program areas in their organizations. Third, the project affords students an<br />
opportunity to step back from their everyday experience, place that experience within the<br />
larger context <strong>of</strong> public administration practice and theory, and leaven the quality <strong>of</strong> public<br />
administration practice, knowledge, and theory more generally.<br />
A successfully completed final project, thus, has three components: it deals with a topic<br />
<strong>of</strong> interest to the student; it explicitly addresses and is related to core problems and enduring<br />
questions <strong>of</strong> public administration broadly defined; and it studies the topic in methodologically<br />
rigorous ways. Topics meeting these criteria may come from, but are not limited<br />
128
to, issues <strong>of</strong>organizational dynamics, diagnosis, and prescription; program or policy planning,<br />
development, implementation, and evaluation; and the legal, ethical, and political<br />
implications <strong>of</strong> public management. The faculty is less concerned about the specific<br />
methodology (qualitative, quantitative, or both) used to study the topic than it is about the<br />
quality <strong>of</strong> analysis employed, the topic's relationship to substamively important research<br />
questions in the field <strong>of</strong> public administration, and the project's potential or actual contribution<br />
to improving public administration practice, understanding, and theory.<br />
Students employed in public or not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it agencies may focus their analyses on the<br />
operations <strong>of</strong> their own organization. They may also, or conjointly, address research questions<br />
dealing with other organizations affecting or affected by, their organization's programs<br />
or policies. Alternatively, students not presently employed in either public or<br />
not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it agencies, those looking for a career change or expertise in another policy<br />
area, or those merely interested in exploring research questions outside their organization's<br />
responsibilities, are encouraged to pursue their interests wherever they may lead in public<br />
administration.<br />
The process <strong>of</strong>completing the final project begins with the student developing a<br />
research project ptospectus that is defended orally before a three-person faculty committee.<br />
Led by a chair <strong>of</strong> the committee (typically, the student's major pr<strong>of</strong>essor), and comprised<br />
<strong>of</strong> faculty members selected for their expertise in the substantive and/or<br />
methodological focus <strong>of</strong> the project, the committee will approve, approve with minor<br />
modifications, or disapprove the project subject to significant revision. In particular cases,<br />
membership on the committee may include a faculty member(s) from outside the<br />
Division <strong>of</strong> Public Administration (including, more rarely, faculty members from other<br />
institutions). However, the chair <strong>of</strong> the committee must be a Division member and<br />
Division faculty must constitute a majority <strong>of</strong> the committee.<br />
A student may nOt proceed with the final project until the prospectus has been<br />
approved by the committee. Students are advised to begin thinking about the composition<br />
<strong>of</strong> the project committee as early as possible. While students also should begin as early as<br />
possible to think about possible topics for the final project and to discuss their ideas with<br />
their major pr<strong>of</strong>essor and potential faculty members, the formal prospectus defense occurs<br />
only after all coursework is completed.<br />
TRANSFER CREDITS<br />
A maximum <strong>of</strong> 12 graduate credits may be applied toward the D.PA. degree for relevant<br />
graduate courses completed at other regionally accredited colleges or universities with the<br />
approval <strong>of</strong> the D .PA. program director. In no cases can transfer credits be used to reduce<br />
degree requirements to fewer than 42 credits beyond the student's Master's degree(s).<br />
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS<br />
Students who complete six credit hours coward the Doctorate <strong>of</strong> Public Administration<br />
(core and/or elective courses) and who have a grade point average below 3.0 will be placed<br />
on probation. Such students have six additional hours to recover at least a 3.0 grade point<br />
average, or they will be academically dismissed from the program. Within the D .PA. program,<br />
no course may be repeated for the purpose <strong>of</strong>substituting for an earlier grade in the<br />
same course. These provisions supercede the more general college provisions stated elsewhere<br />
in this catalog.<br />

The M .S. in Health Systems Management program is designed to provide graduate education<br />
for careers in health systems administration. Through a comprehensive program <strong>of</strong><br />
quantitative and qualitative approaches to health systems management, students will<br />
obtain balanced pr<strong>of</strong>essional development in the core disciplines <strong>of</strong> management including<br />
finance, epidemiology, quantitative methods, organization behavior, ethics, law and<br />
information systems. One <strong>of</strong> this program's strengths is its focus on multi-disciplinary<br />
approaches, employing concepts and experiences from political, socio-cultural, financial<br />
and administrative disciplines.<br />
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS<br />
The M .S. in Health Systems Management requires students to complete 36 to 45 credits<br />
<strong>of</strong> graduate course work, depending on prior preparation.<br />

All requirements for the M.S. in Health Systems Management must be completed within<br />
seven (7) calendar years following admission.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
Successful applicants will have earned a bachelors degree from a regionally accredited university<br />
or college. Experience in a health systems organization is highly recommended,<br />
although a wide range <strong>of</strong> educational, work and life experience will be considered admission<br />
criteria. Students who satisfy all <strong>of</strong> the requirements for admission to the M .S. in<br />
Health Systems Management program, including a 3.0 grade point average, are accepted<br />
as unconditional degree students.<br />
130
Applicants who fail to meet one <strong>of</strong> the admissions requirements detailed above may be<br />
accepted as conditional degree students, meaning they may begin classes but have admissions<br />
criteria to satisfy. In instances where applicants have not achieved at least a 3.0 grade<br />
point average (B average) in either undergraduate or graduate studies, they are designated<br />
"conditional" until they have completed 12 hours <strong>of</strong>graduate work and maintained a 3.0<br />

SCHOOL OF LAW<br />
HISTORY AND PURPOSE<br />
The School <strong>of</strong> Law was first opened with the founding <strong>of</strong> the Universiey <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> in<br />
1925. In 1970 the Mount Vernon School <strong>of</strong> Law at Eastern College was merged with the<br />
Universiey <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Law, combining the faculey, facilities, and other assets <strong>of</strong><br />
the two institutions. The School <strong>of</strong> Law is fully accredited by the American Bar<br />
Association, and is a member <strong>of</strong> the Association <strong>of</strong>American Law Schools. It is housed in<br />
the John and Frances Angelos Law Center at Maryland and Mount Royal Avenues.<br />
The day division <strong>of</strong>fers a full-time, three-year program. The evening division <strong>of</strong>fers a<br />
part-time, four-year program. A part-time day program is also available. Both the full-time<br />
and part-time programs require the same standards <strong>of</strong> performance by students. Full-time<br />
faculey members teach in both day and evening divisions. Part-time lecturers, who teach<br />
primarily in the evening, include some <strong>of</strong> the foremost practicing attorneys, judges, and<br />
government <strong>of</strong>ficials in Maryland. Clinical and internship programs are integral parts <strong>of</strong><br />
the curriculum.<br />
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS<br />
The Juris Doctor (J.D.) is the first pr<strong>of</strong>essional level in law, conferred on candidates who<br />
satisfactorily complete 90 credits in required and elective law courses. To graduate, students<br />
must maintain a grade point average <strong>of</strong>at least 2.0, and meet specified advocacy,<br />
upper-level writing and perspective course requirements.<br />
ADMISSION TO COMBINED PROGRAMS FOR GRADUATE S'WDENTS<br />
Students who independently satisfy the entrance requirements for both School <strong>of</strong> Law and<br />
four designated graduate programs may participate in the Combined Graduate/Juris<br />
Doctor program. The designated programs at the Universiey <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> are: the Master<br />
<strong>of</strong> Business Administration (see the Merrick School <strong>of</strong> Business section <strong>of</strong> this catalog);<br />
Master <strong>of</strong> Public Administration, Master <strong>of</strong> Science in Criminal Justice, and the Master <strong>of</strong><br />
Science in Negotiation and Conflict Management (see the Yale Gordon College <strong>of</strong> Liberal<br />
Arts section <strong>of</strong> this catalog,).<br />
GENERAL LAW ADMISSIONS INFORMATION<br />
The number <strong>of</strong> acceptable applicants greatly exceeds the number <strong>of</strong> spaces available in the<br />
entering class at the School <strong>of</strong> Law. Selections are made by the Committee on Admissions<br />
on the basis <strong>of</strong> several factors. The Committee places significant emphasis on the Law<br />
School Admissions Test (LSAT) score and the cumulative undergraduate grade point average<br />
(GPA). The Committee also recognizes non-traditional qualities that may be relevant<br />
in determining the applicant's abiliey. It considers the undergraduate field <strong>of</strong>study and<br />
graduate work as well as other factors that are not susceptible to measurement by traditional<br />
academic criteria, such as demonstrated abiliey to overcome adversiey, individual<br />
achievement, motivation, work experience and character. The Committee seeks to include<br />
persons <strong>of</strong> diverse racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.<br />

MINIMUM COURSE REQUIREMENTS<br />
First Year Day/Evening Students<br />
Students admitted to the School <strong>of</strong> Law must begin their studies in the fall semester.<br />
Entering students are expected to complete both semesters <strong>of</strong> the first-year curriculum<br />
during the academic year in which they enroll.<br />
In the first year, the day division is divided into three sections. There is one section in<br />
the evening division. First-year students are assigned to sections and to the courses in those<br />
sections. After the first year, students are no longer assigned to sections.<br />
Each graduate must have earned six residence credits. Full or partial residence credit is<br />
awarded depending on the number <strong>of</strong> academic credits a student earns in a semester and<br />

SEXUAl HARASSMENT POLICY<br />
The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> reaffirms the<br />
principle that its students, faculty, and staff<br />
have a right to be free from sex discrimination<br />
in the form <strong>of</strong>sexual harassment by<br />
any member <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> community.<br />
Sexual harassment is reprehensible and will<br />
not be tolerated. It subverts the mission <strong>of</strong><br />
the <strong>University</strong> and threatens the careers,<br />
educational experience, and well-being <strong>of</strong><br />
students, faculty and staff. Sexual harassment<br />
is particularly damaging when it<br />
exploits the educational dependence and<br />
trust between students and faculty.<br />
For a complete statement <strong>of</strong> the UB policy<br />
on sexual harassment, see the UB<br />
Policies and Procedures Guide.<br />
219
DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY<br />

Maryland, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> BaJrimore<br />
complies fulJy with the Maryland Drug and<br />
Alcohol Abuse Control Plan.<br />

substances while on <strong>University</strong> premises is<br />
strictly prohibited.<br />
2) The use <strong>of</strong> alcoholic beverages is permitted<br />
only in designated areas on campus,<br />
and provided that such use is in conformity<br />

set forth in the UB Policies and Procedures<br />
Guide.<br />
3) Violations <strong>of</strong> laws and <strong>University</strong> regulations<br />
regarding the use <strong>of</strong> controlled/illegal<br />
substances and alcohol will be subject to<br />
prosecution through both civil authorities<br />
and the campus judicial system. The range<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>University</strong> penalties shall include, but<br />
not be limited to, disciplinary reprimand,<br />
loss <strong>of</strong> privilege, probation, suspension and<br />

smokers and non-smokers alike. It can contribute<br />
to heart attack, stroke, high blood<br />
pressure, emphysema, and several forms <strong>of</strong><br />
cancer. The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baltimore</strong> has<br />
taken positive steps toward providing a<br />
smoke-free environment for all employees<br />
and students in which smoking is prohibited<br />
within all <strong>University</strong> buildings.<br />
This no-smoking policy stresses compliance<br />
on the part <strong>of</strong>employees and students.<br />
While it is best to rely on common courtesy<br />
for colleagues and classmates to ensure the<br />
success <strong>of</strong> this policy, the <strong>University</strong> is prepared<br />
to enforce it with formal sanctions.<br />
Visitors who refuse to comply with this<br />
policy will be required to leave <strong>University</strong><br />
premises.<br />
