UBalt offers Guaranteed Admission and scholarship opportunities to Dual Enrollment students.

Current High School students who are taking classes both in high school and at a higher education institution (Community College or four-year institution) are usually part of a Dual Enrollment Program. Your involvement in this type of program is a great way to kick start your educational goals and promote your academic strength.

At UBalt, we want to reward you for this achievement by offering you guaranteed admission if you:

• are in a dual enrollment program (UBalt-sponsored or administered by another USM Institution or Maryland Community College)
• have obtained a grade of “C” or better in a General Education mathematics course or a General Education writing course
• have earned a high school diploma or passed the GED within three years of your desired start term at UBalt
• have a 2.75 weighted high school GPA
• have a combined 1000 SAT (with no single score below 400) or a 16 ACT score
• apply before April 1 for the fall semester or Nov 1 for the spring semester
• complete the application process to the University of Baltimore

Students who meet these qualifications will be eligible for merit-based scholarships up to $6,000 per year. Get Pre-Qualified here. 

To apply with guaranteed admission, complete the First-time Undergraduate Application for Admission. Make sure to indicate that you are enrolled at both your high school and at a college or university.

Please note: The same standards used in regular admission regarding breadth and depth in academic subjects, minimum standardized test scores, and achievement in coursework apply to students admitted under this policy. Admission may be granted conditionally until items above can be verified.

UBalt and Bard Early Colleges have partnered together to make completing your degree easier.

Bard Early College (BEC) students who are on track to complete the BEC program, who will earn the Associate Degree and/or have a minimum of 60 undergraduate credits from BEC, and who have at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA in the college program at the time of application to UBalt are guaranteed admission.

To apply:

• BEC students who will have earned 29 or less college-level credits, excluding AP credits, prior to enrolling at the University of Baltimore will:
  • Complete the First-time Undergraduate Application for Admission, including all required documents and scores 
  • Be required to meet first-time undergraduate admission requirements
  • Be eligible for First-time Undergraduate-level scholarships
  • Be required to participate in the First Year Experience program
• BEC students who have earned 30-59 or more college-level credits, excluding AP credits, prior to enrolling at the University of Baltimore will:
  • Complete the Transfer Application for Admission, including all required documents
  • Be eligible for Transfer-level scholarships
  • Take the Introductory Experience Course at UBalt
  • Have the option to participate in the First Year Experience program 
• BEC students who have earned 60 or more college-level credits, including AP credits, prior to enrolling at the University of Baltimore will:
  • Complete the Transfer Application for Admission, including all required documents
  • Be eligible for Transfer-level scholarships 
  • Take the Introductory Experience Course at UBalt, but will not participate in the First-Year Experience program

BEC students who do not meet the guaranteed admissions criteria above are encouraged to apply to UBalt as a first year or transfer student, as appropriate. Contingent on transcript review and approval, BEC students’ college credits will be applied towards the bachelor’s degree at UBalt. A grade of C (2.00 on a 4.00 scale) or better must be earned for transfer eligibility. When successfully completed, the four-semester BEC Seminar sequence will be considered to have met the requirements of First Year Seminar: Introduction to University Learning, English Composition, and two Arts & Humanities electives.   BEC students are encouraged to work with UBalt admission counselors and academic advisers when selecting requirement and elective coursework to ensure optimal credit application toward the anticipated UBalt program.
