Top Ranked Programs
University of Maryland-Baltimore County's program mix is anchored in Computer Science, with strong representation across information technology, biological sciences, and social science fields. Psychology, General is the largest program with 382 graduates, followed by Biology, General (346 graduates), Computer Science (314 graduates), Information Science/Studies (278 graduates), and Social Work (112 graduates). Across 38 programs serving roughly 2,773 students annually, 24 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold. Social Sciences accounts for 9% of degree output, Engineering accounts for 7%, and Arts accounts for 5%, reflecting a portfolio tilted toward computing and quantitative disciplines. The strongest earnings come from technology-adjacent fields. Azimuth ranks Computer Science #76 among nonprofit four-year institutions for median earnings four years after enrollment, with graduates earning $105,706. Azimuth ranks Information Science/Studies #6 among nonprofit four-year institutions for median earnings four years after enrollment, with graduates earning $95,435. Mechanical Engineering adds depth to the computing cluster — Azimuth ranks it #65 among nonprofit four-year institutions for median earnings four years after enrollment, with graduates earning $95,078. Computer Science combines the largest cohort with strong pay, making it the program that contributes most to the institution's overall earnings profile. Computing and information-technology programs at University of Maryland-Baltimore County are high-mobility pathways where graduates enter the national labor market directly — particularly in the Baltimore–Washington corridor's concentration of technology employers, federal contractors, and cybersecurity firms. Computer Science and Information Science/Studies include grad-school-dependent pathways where four-year earnings undercount lifetime trajectory because a meaningful share of graduates continue to graduate or professional school.
