The Office of Multi-ethnic Student Education at the University of Maryland currently serves over 8,200 multi-ethnic students.  OMSE provides programs and resources that support the academic, personal and professional excellence of students. 

Many of the students served by OMSE are achieving at high rates of personal and professional excellence. Nevertheless, there are others who are experiencing academic and personal challenges as outlined in UMCP’s Office of Institutional Research Planning and Assessment data on undergraduate retention and graduation rates.

OMSE is committed to serving students in all academic, personal, and programmatic endeavors.  The OMSE team is dedicated to our motto of high expectations, high standards and ongoing excellence. The political and historical patterns of the University of Maryland continues to frame our unwavering commitment to addressing the climate of indifference, racial/diversity incompetence and misinformed perspectives that permeate the everyday experiences of multi-ethnic students.

We continue to reinforce our motto of High Expectations, High Standards, Excellence by utilizing an integrated approach to team collaboration to support mult-ethnic students.
