Summer / Winter Classroom Locations
In addition to UMBC’s main campus, summer and winter session classes are also offered in Montgomery County and in Baltimore City. Our goal is to make it easy for students (and faculty) to take classes closer to home. We encourage you to consider offering summer and winter classes at these additional locations. Contact the Office of Summer, Winter & Special Programs for more details.
