Admission Guide

University of Baltimore accepts applications through its online portal with a rolling admissions policy, so you can apply throughout the year rather than waiting for specific deadlines. You'll need to submit your high school transcripts, SAT or ACT scores, and a personal statement describing your academic and career goals.

The nursing program requires separate application materials and maintains more competitive admission standards than the university overall. Criminal justice and business programs also receive heavy application volume, though admission remains accessible for most qualified applicants.

You won't find traditional campus housing at University of Baltimore since it operates as a commuter school in downtown Baltimore. The university partners with nearby apartment complexes to help students find off-campus housing within walking distance of the campus on Mount Royal Avenue.

New student orientation occurs in summer and covers course registration, academic advising, and campus resources. You'll meet with an advisor from your intended major during this process to plan your first semester schedule.

The campus occupies several city blocks in the Mount Vernon cultural district, placing you within walking distance of the Walters Art Museum, Peabody Institute, and Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Your classes will take place in a mix of historic and modern buildings connected by covered walkways.

Most students work part-time or full-time while attending classes, and the university schedules many courses during evening hours to accommodate working professionals. The student body includes a significant number of adult learners returning to complete their degrees.
