Office of the Provost

Consistent with the University’s mission and working collaboratively with the deans and vice presidents, the Office of the Provost advances the intellectual life of our scholarly community by supporting and advancing our academic programs and the scholarship of our faculty and students.

At UMBC, the provost serves as the chief academic officer of the university, overseeing the academic mission and ensuring excellence in teaching, research, and scholarship across all colleges and schools.

The provost works closely with faculty, deans, and academic leaders to shape the university’s academic strategy, support student success, and uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. This includes guiding curriculum development, advancing faculty recruitment and retention, and fostering a diverse, inclusive learning environment.

As a central figure in university leadership, the provost helps ensure that UMBC remains a vibrant intellectual community dedicated to discovery, learning, and inclusive excellence.
