UBalt Initiatives

The University of Baltimore strives to engage with many communities, both here on campus and across the city. Our impact is felt locally—and around the world. UBalt is a partner, a supporter, and an organizer for a number of ongoing initiatives intended to improve lives and enhance opportunities. We've been delivering on our commitment for one hundred years.

UBalt hosts Baltimore City College High School

Beginning in fall 2025, The University of Baltimore will host classes for Baltimore City College High School—one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious public high schools—while their facilities undergo large-scale renovations. This three-year arrangement will bring about 1,400 students, plus teachers and staff, to the UBalt campus. Our plans call for students to take classes in existing and converted space in the Academic and Business centers. Food services will be provided in the Academic Center, with dining occurring in both buildings.

UBalt hosts Baltimore Police Education and Training Center

University of Baltimore President Kurt L. Schmoke says the Baltimore City Police Education and Training Center on the UBalt campus represents an important step forward. The move further demonstrates the BPD's commitment to fulfilling the federal consent decree that mandated the training facility's relocation.

UBalt checks the city's Vital Signs

The Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance—part of UBalt's Jacob France Institute—produces an annual city-wide "check up" called Vital Signs. This data-driven report provides citizens with all kinds of information—it's the perfect starting point for improving neighborhoods, focusing resources, and addressing issues.

UBalt Empowers Student Ventures

With its four schools and colleges each offering a practical, career-focused education, a nearly 100-year history of helping students balance learning, work, family and more, and an undergraduate and graduate curriculum emphasizing experiential opportunities, the University of Baltimore knows how to support its students. This is especially true for those who want to get started today—no, yesterday!: UBalt is here to help any student, from anywhere in the University, bring their venture to reality—from idea, to plan, to fruition.

UBalt: Of the City, for the City

UBalt Strengthens Baltimore Through Community and Innovation

The University of Baltimore is part of the city. Since the University's founding in 1925, Baltimore has been our home.

UBalt Alumni (and Students!) Working and Traveling Abroad

At the University of Baltimore, we like to say that our alumni go everywhere, and do everything. And it's not an exaggeration: While a significant majority of UBalt graduates work and live right here in Maryland, an impressive number of them find jobs and build their lives in countries all over the glob
