Extractions: February, 1999 THE STATE OF THE UNIVERSITY Achievements FY2000 Operating Budget Requests Connections and Partnerships FY2000 Capital Budget Requests ... Graphs I am delighted to be here to talk about UMBC and to respond to questions you may have on our FY 2000 budget request. UMBC is greater Baltimore's public research university, emphasizing graduate programs in the sciences, engineering, and public policy, and built on a strong undergraduate liberal-arts-and-sciences core. Among the nation's research universities, we are distinctive because of our emphasis on undergraduate education, reflecting our tradition of linking research and teaching. We offer degrees in 28 undergraduate, 27 master's, and 19 Ph.D. programs; enroll 10,100 students (including 8,600 undergraduates); employ 1,800 full- and part-time faculty and staff; have nearly 32,000 alumni (85% living in Maryland); have an operating budget of almost $180 million, including $48 million per year in contracts and grants; and have a physical plant valued at over $300 million, consisting of 500 acres, 40 buildings, and almost 2.5 million square feet of space. Founded in 1966, UMBC has built in just over three decades a strong foundation reflecting the efforts of many people, including State leaders and our faculty, staff, and students. It also reflects three decades of careful thinking, ambitious planning, and hard decisions. In building the faculty, staff, and a strong student body, we have learned that talented people attract other talented people. One impressive measure of our success is the vote this past year by Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's most prestigious scholarly honor society, establishing a chapter at UMBC. Of Phi Beta Kappa's 255 member institutions, UMBC is one of the youngest public campuses ever to gain admission, rivaling some of the University of California's most prestigious campuses in this regard.
