Masking Guidance Updates
In order to provide a healthy and safe environment for every member of our campus community, UMD's masking policy — announced August 6, 2021 — requires everyone to wear a mask in public indoor spaces and on Shuttle-UM buses, regardless of vaccination status.
The undergraduate experience at Maryland Smith is like no other. Our students proudly call it “The Smith Experience.”
From personal career coaching to the rare suite of activities only Smith offers, you’ll be able to check all the boxes necessary to build your own brand and command your career. You’ll be prepared to take on the responsibilities and intellectual challenges that a keen business sense requires. You’ll develop as a leader, but also have the interpersonal skills to be an invaluable teammate.

Smith Fellows Programs
You can control your individual learning experience by becoming a Smith fellow. Each one-year program is unique and will allow the intense study of a specific area of business, ranging from finance and supply chain to strategic design and global consulting. Most programs require one course in the fall semester and one in the spring semester.
At Smith, I was a Venture Capital and Private Equity fellow, a program that introduced me to a career I'm passionate about and taught me the basics of being a good investor, lessons I still rely on today. I also connected with smart and talented classmates, professors, and mentors who have remained wonderful friends and colleagues post-graduation. I would not be where I am today without the support I received from Smith!
