Description of the University System of Maryland

The University System of Maryland (USM) (see www.usmd.edu) is "a public corporation and charter school system comprising 12 Maryland institutions of higher education and 2 Regional Higher Education Centers". In 1988, the current System was created from the merger of the five University of Maryland institutions and the six members of the State University and College System of Maryland under the name University of Maryland System. In 1997, its name was changed to the University System of Maryland.
