minority-serving institution focused on inclusive excellence.
UMBC is a dynamic and growing public research university located in the Baltimore-Washington
Corridor. The university has a student population of 13,640 graduate and undergraduate
students. US News and World Report regularly ranks UMBC in the top 10 of most innovative
universities, and the Chronicle of Higher Education recognizes UMBC as one its "Great Colleges

For example, our department's undergraduate Council of Majors is currently spearheading an

division undergraduate courses in race and ethnic politics. The annual teaching load is
five courses.
