Resources

The University, the region, and the School have exceptional resources to serve the study and research needs of students and faculty. All four programs take advantage of the contextual diversity resulting from this rich overlap of educational opportunities. The University of Maryland, College Park is committed to its role as the state’s primary center for research in graduate education. 

The School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at the University of Maryland is truly a hub of intellectual energy, where professionals, academics, and students come together. Whether it be a lecture, a professional seminar, or a gallery show, there is always something going on inside the school.
