Our students win prestigious awards for their academic achievements and civic engagement, and our graduates enjoy successful careers in their chosen fields. In the past decade, our sports teams have won 14 NCAA national championships.

Living in the TERPS Community
The Maryland experience fosters a commitment to responsible citizenship, critical thought, community involvement, and the development of lifelong campus relationships. Students, faculty, and staff enjoy a campus community teeming with opportunities for involvement and services as well as programs that foster academic success and promote personal growth and well-being.
The campus benefits from the close proximity and networked connections with the broader Washington and Baltimore metropolitan communities. Maryland provides an academic environment that stimulates and challenges students both inside and outside the classroom to identify and clarify their academic, personal, and career goals and to develop the knowledge and tools needed to achieve those goals. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the rich diversity of the community, to participate in leadership development and community service learning programs, to live a healthy and safe lifestyle, and to understand and meet the civic and ethical responsibilities of good citizenship. Whether you choose to participate in intramural sports, experience fraternity and sorority life, join a career related organization, engage in an internship, study abroad, perform in a play or concert, or just bask in the pride of being a Terp athletic fan, your experience at Maryland will be exceptional.
