Stick-to-it-ness.The University of Maryland is home of the Terps—inspiring, involved and intrepid Terps from across the state and around the globe. We’re one of the nation’s top-ranked public research institutions, with a whopping 90 undergraduate majors. And we have an unbeatable location just outside Washington, D.C.
