Is the University of Maryland a good place for ethnic minority students?
The Department is proud of the rich ethnic and gender diversity of its students, faculty, and staff. Over a third of our graduate students and a quarter of our tenure-track faculty are members of ethnic minority groups. Family Science has three times been named “Outstanding Academic Unit” by the University of Maryland President’s Commission on Ethnic Minority Issues because of our sensitivity to gender/sexual orientation, class, religious and cultural issues. The Department provides a welcoming environment for students from diverse backgrounds, promoting learning, collaboration, and high student morale.
