UMBC knows that the college experience is so much more than what happens in the classroom. Students can engage in hundreds of student organizations including those grouped together as “intellectual sports”: student organizations that test students’ academic mettle in off-campus competitions and conferences. Most of these intellectual sports organizations are open to any UMBC undergraduate student regardless of their major.
