UMD at The Universities at Shady Grove

University of Maryland (UMD) degree at The Universities at Shady Grove:
Two year college? What is this campus like? How does it compare to UMD CP overall? For your major?

I think they have very limited offerings there. The campus is shared with multiple MD schools. It’s nothing like UMD College Park. It’s just a few buildings, 100% commuter, population skews older, etc. My DD took some DE classes there and I looked into some grad programs there.

It is a satellite campus for all of the schools in the Maryland system. You have to apply and be accepted to one of the Maryland schools. It's not a stand alone university.

Pretty much the same thing as UMD-CP.

It's a, satellite location fur the universities connected with it. It's not an actual separate institution.Its a small number if buildings in Rockville.

If I understand correctly it only offers upper classman classes. While this isn’t required, I assume the first two years would generally be at a community college and you’d finish your degree at Shady Grove.

People keep trying to draw distinctions between UMCP, UMBC, and now UM Shady Grove. They are all the same system!

And just as good.

It’s nothing like UMCP or UMBC. I took classes there 20 years ago as a grad student enrolled at JHU. As a PP said, you don’t apply specifically to this campus, you need to be a student at one of the schools that use this campus as a satellite location.

they are only the same "system" as in they are all MD public schools. Your degree is from the individual institution. you get a degree from Umd College Park specifically vs a degree from UMBC vs UMD Global Campus. Just like there is a difference in U Michigan Ann Arbor vs U Michigan Dearborn. There is also a difference between UofCal Berkeley and UCal Merced. Anyone who says differently doesn't know what they are talking about.

This is true. "The Universities at Shady Grove (USG) is a University System of Maryland (USM) Regional Higher Education Center (RHEC) offering upper level undergraduate and graduate education in Montgomery County, Maryland."

If you go to UMD at Shady Grove your diploma says University of Maryland just like college park it does not say UMD - Shady Grove. If you go to UMBC at Shady Grove the diploma say University of Maryland, Baltimore County. If you go to Towson at Shady Grove your diploma says Towson.

There is no UM-Shady Grove.
