At UMBC, “intellectual sports” are student organizations that test students’ academic mettle in off-campus competitions and conferences.
The university is developing an infrastructure for intellectual sports to provide them with the level of support often associated with athletic teams. We are dedicated to ensuring students experience the leadership, social networking, and community that’s part of all UMBC student organizations, while expanding their career readiness competencies through the hands-on experiences that are unique to intellectual sports.
