Education Abroad is excited to announce Maryland-in-Amman, a new study abroad program launching Spring 2026 that transforms Jordan's vibrant capital into your classroom.

This summer, alongside their annual staff retreat, the Education Abroad (EA) team engaged in a professional development series focused on strengthening global learning design and outcomes—part of a broader effort to ensure every student’s experience abroad is purposeful, inclusive, and aligned with their goals.

The University of Maryland (UMD) College Park, in partnership with Bowie State University (BSU), has been selected to receive the 2025 IIE American Passport Project grant. This collaborative initiative will enable UMD and BSU to nominate 25 eligible students to each receive $165.00 to fund their U.S. passport application process.

Since the Peace Corps’ founding in 1961, the University of Maryland has produced 1,175 alumni who have served abroad as volunteers. Currently, 28 alumni are serving in 17 countries around the world.

The UMD School of Public Health recently welcomed scholars from Ireland, Germany and the U.S. for the Spring 2025 U21HREx Symposium.

The University of Maryland is proud to announce two student-led projects – SEWING and The Movement Street – as its representatives for this year's Universitas21 (U21) RISE Showcase and Awards.
