- Mission
- The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), the State Historically Black 1890 Land-Grant Institution, is a teaching, research, and doctoral institution that nurtures and launches leaders in a student-centered environment, particularly from among ethnic minorities. Committed to providing high quality programs in an ethnically diverse environment, the University prepares students who will serve and shape the global economy. UMES is a growing, primarily residential university with learning, discovery, and engagement missions consistent with valuing the scholarship of faculty in discovering knowledge, disseminating new knowledge, and applying that knowledge to the extended community. The University recognizes its responsibility for developing human potential, enriching cultural expressions, and sharing its expertise with individuals, businesses, educational, governmental, and non-governmental organizations. The learning, discovery, and engagement foci are in accordance with UMES' legacy and mission as Maryland 1890 Land-Grant Institution. UMES is proud of its over 120 years of continuous educational service, initially under the aegis of the Methodist Church. One of the original purposes of the land-grant institutions, the education of citizens for life in the American economy (then, largely agrarian, but now more diverse), includes the disciplines of agriculture, home economics, and mechanical arts. UMES continues to embrace the original purposes as well as its current expansions to include the liberal arts, scientific, business, technological, and professional programs that extend to urban and international settings. The expansion of the land-grant missions reflects the changes in both internal and external environments which include cultural diversity, global interdependence, changes in local, state, and national economy, and the exponential growth of information communication technology. Just as the focus on agriculture, home economics, and the mechanical arts was appropriate in the 1890, the wide range of instructional, research, and public service commitments that now characterize this university is vital today. International perspective in higher education is crucial to the development of leaders who are sensitive to the role America plays in shaping the national and international agendas. UMES is committed to providing an array of undergraduate and graduate programs in an environment that is responsive to global perspectives in education. The University aims to imbed internationalism in some curricula and to extend its concept of international education through continuing education and cooperative ventures with foreign universities, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and private industries. UMES is the only institution on the Eastern Shore of Maryland that offers doctoral degrees in several disciplines and a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering. Its unique programs in the University System of Maryland include Aviation Science, Hotel and Restaurant Management, and Golf Management. It is the first Historically Black Institution in the nation to offer a Bachelor's Degree in Golf Management that is accredited by the Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA).
