About This Group
The Office of Academic Opportunity Programs houses UMBC's TRIO programs and in conjunction with the Graduate School, the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation.
Our mission is to provide resources and support to students who are traditionally underrepresented, including low-income, first generation, and minority students, in post-secondary education to facilitate academic success. The unit coordinates with departments on campus, as well as agencies off campus to develop programming specifically designed to improve student outcomes. Our activities are directed toward pre-college students who seek enrollment in post-secondary institutions, UMBC students who strive for academic success, and students interested in enrolling in graduate study.
