Yes. "To earn an undergraduate degree from UBalt, you need to fulfill all general-education requirements or their equivalent from another institution. In addition to your major requirements, you may also choose to declare a minor."


Where are you getting that from? Link please.

They’ve had undergrad available for a while now.

Don’t forget Coppin State University.

Morgan State is not under the University System of MD like University of Baltimore is: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1312211.page


Pitt is not under the Penn State system.

Morgan and Pitt are both comprehensive public universities that are s independent of other universities in their state. They both offer research (Pitt is R1, Morgan is R2) and offer a wide variety of undergraduate degrees. They also have well established undergraduate programs, and offer housing.

UMD-B is a graduate university, with a small number of undergrads, comprising about 15% of the total. At Morgan 84% of students are undergrad. At Pitt, it's 72%. They are just different kinds of institutions.

Morgan is in Baltimore.

Univeristy of Baltimore has developed more undergraduate programs in recent years, but is kind of like the old night schools - appealing to older, non traditional students. Law school is more well known.

Great option for online classes.

I definitely don’t think it’s a Pitt like possibility at all.


Pitt and University if Cincinnati more aligned if comparing Pitt with another school. Tho unsure of U Cincinnati 's endowment or $ received for research funding

Suffolk is a private 4 year school, with housing. How is that similar to University of Baltimore which is a public school that only offers the last two years of undergraduate and doesn't have housing.

University of Baltimore isn't designed to be Pitt, or trying to be Pitt. It's serving a specific niche in the city of Baltimore, and not trying to be a comprehensive university.

If you want a school that is a public comprehensive university, like Pitt, in the city of Baltimore, you're talking about Morgan State. If you're willing to look outside the city, in the larger Baltimore metro area, UMBC or Towson are two strong 4 year schools.


Both attract nontraditional students and have a similar reputation in the city in which they are located.



Similar in what way?


Both perceived to be good options for non traditional students and have a respectable law school, at least for local recruiting

It's not, yet.



Pitt has a 6 billion dollar endowment.
