Grit. It’s an attitude, defined by courage, resolve, and strength of character, which embodies the indomitable spirit of UMBC. That essence is felt here at UMBC-Shady Grove too. Earning your bachelor’s degree takes perseverance. It takes grit.

If you’re ready to work hard for your bachelor's degree and make some great connections along the way, you’ll fit right in here at UMBC-Shady Grove.

Join us for Undergraduate Preview Night, an engaging annual event where you will experience first-hand UMBC Retriever pride and True Grit reflective of our community. Join us as select members of our Peer Advisory Team and current students share their stories highlighting their personal transfer process and UMBC-Shady Grove experience.

Please note: UMBC-Shady Grove's fall 2021 Preview Night event is being hosted virtually. Please RSVP to receive logistical information.
