Happy December! Before campus dives into finals and the holidays, Education Abroad at UMBC would like to share some exciting new updates and projects with our campus community.

Education Abroad is excited to announce our first ever faculty-led program for newly admitted students! This program, set in Bristol and London, United Kingdom will help incoming UMBC students get a head start on their degrees by offering two course options, both fulfilling GEPs. Stay tuned for updates!
