The College of Engineering and Information Technology was founded in 1985 as the College of Engineering under the supervision of the University of Maryland College Park. In 1993, it was established as an independent college within the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Computer Science transferred to the College of Engineering from the College of Arts and Sciences in 1995, and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering was added in 2001. The College of Engineering became the College of Engineering and Information Technology in September 2004.
Four departments make up the College: Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Engineering; Computer Science and Electrical Engineering; Information Systems; and Mechanical Engineering.
The College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences began as the College of Arts and Sciences, and reorganized under its present name in July 2005.
The Department of Social Work is affiliated with the University of Maryland School of Social Work and provides the baccalaureate-level social work education of the School. The Department began in 1969 as a program of sociology and social work under the Division of Social Sciences at University of Maryland Baltimore County. In 1971, sociology and social work were separated and, in 1988, the Department of Social Work became an independent unit.
The Erickson School formed in 2004 as the Erickson School of Aging Studies and received its present name in 2007. The School is named after John and Nancy Erickson, founders of the Baltimore-based Erickson foundation and benefactors of the School. The School offers undergraduate and graduate programs in aging services and certificates in seniors' housing administration.
The Graduate School traces to the joint University of Maryland Graduate School, Baltimore, which offered graduate courses to students enrolled at the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the University of Maryland at Baltimore. The Graduate School was established in 1996.
In the natural and social sciences, engineering, public policy, and arts and humanities, the Graduate School offers 36 masters degree programs, 24 doctoral degree programs, and 17 graduate certificate programs.
