The undergraduate transfer experience at the Shady Grove campus of the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business expands our top-ranked undergraduate program’s reach and accessibility. Every fall semester admitted transfer students enroll in one of three business and management majors and follow a tailored cohort-style course format to ensure they can complete their Bachelor of Science degree in two years.
At Smith, you’ll learn from experts who will present you with real-world business problems to tackle. From experiential learning projects to site visits, you will have opportunities to bring your education from the classroom to your life and apply concepts. You’ll be prepared for the future in business because you’ll have developed excellent systems thinking, decision-making and data analysis skills in addition to your major’s subject expertise.
We’re known for our community, including more than 67,000 alumni. We believe that when one of us succeeds, the whole community thrives. That’s why we’ve created a culture that empowers and celebrates every student for their unique contributions.

“At the Shady Grove campus, I could multitask between being a parent and pursuing my degree. It’s an inviting environment for families, and kids can get involved. It was a meaningful learning experience for both of us.”
“In my global marketing class, we learned how cultures react differently to social norms, such as a business lunch. We focused on current international business challenges. My group project was about why Uber has been so successful in this country compared to others. Since my colleagues are from countries like Turkey and China, and I am from Colombia, we could each contribute from these different points of view and present a global solution.

Students access a suite of career services: mock interviews with top recruiters, resume reviews and door-opening connections to highly sought internships.
The Office of Career Services helped me prepare for Smith’s Career Fair, where I met with a globally recognized corporation – my first employer – Johnson & Johnson. I had the opportunity to work for their Project Management and Supply Chain Co-op in L.A. My career took off from there.
