Today’s challenges cannot be tackled from one standpoint.  At UMCS we pride ourselves in having a rich academic history spanning over 75 years. Our function as a higher institution of learning has deep roots in history and culture, and is not centred only at the precipices of contributing to cultural formation but also opinion formation.  Through this history, UMCS has continued to make significant contribution to building a knowledge based economy, an atmosphere of trust and respect characterized by a rich diversity of people and ideas.  

Our Alta meter family has over 241,000 graduates, and still going growing and the University is the largest public institution east of the Vistula River. UMCS values students, Faculty and staff from different backgrounds and this has compelled the Doctoral Schools to pursue academic excellence in teaching, learning, and research to serve the local, national, and international communities.
