FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedUniversity of Maryland, Baltimore County does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $78,457, above the $36,965 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Maryland.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: a small share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 657 of University of Maryland, Baltimore County's 14,148 students (5%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 8,734 (62%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions
About University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.

- What type of institution is University of Maryland, Baltimore County?
- University of Maryland, Baltimore County is a public university based in MD. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- What is the acceptance rate at University of Maryland, Baltimore County?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at University of Maryland, Baltimore County is approximately 72% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
- What is the tuition at University of Maryland, Baltimore County?
- University of Maryland, Baltimore County's published in-state tuition is approximately $13,256 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend University of Maryland, Baltimore County?
- University of Maryland, Baltimore County reports total enrollment of approximately 13,906 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does University of Maryland, Baltimore County actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at University of Maryland, Baltimore County is approximately $16,467 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $5,087 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $25,439. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at University of Maryland, Baltimore County?
- University of Maryland, Baltimore County reports a graduation rate of approximately 70% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of University of Maryland, Baltimore County have?
- Students who borrowed at University of Maryland, Baltimore County left with a median of approximately $19,500 in federal loans, and about 28% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of University of Maryland, Baltimore County earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $69,960 for students who received federal financial aid at University of Maryland, Baltimore County. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about University of Maryland, Baltimore County?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $35,721; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $18,750 in federal loans at this college (about $199 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $20,500 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).
- How much do Biology graduates from University of Maryland, Baltimore County earn?
- University of Maryland, Baltimore County's bachelor's graduates in Biology earned a median $69,724 four years after graduating, 22% above the $57,214 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $33,055; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth.

- Does University of Maryland, Baltimore County get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, University of Maryland, Baltimore County's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $78,457, above the $36,965 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Maryland, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice.
