The University of Baltimore (UB) occupies an urban campus in Baltimore's Mount Vernon cultural district, located in the heart of Maryland's largest city. Established in 1925 as a private institution before joining the University System of Maryland in 1975, UB operates primarily as an upper-division and graduate institution, with most undergraduate programs beginning at the junior level. The university maintains a focus on professional studies through its College of Public Affairs, School of Law, and Merrick School of Business, offering programs in areas such as criminal justice, public administration, and business administration. The campus consists of modern academic buildings and restored historic structures, including the John and Frances Angelos Law Center, which features sustainable design and serves as a landmark in the city's skyline. While UB provides some student housing through third-party arrangements, it primarily serves commuter students from the Baltimore metropolitan area.
