Welcome from
Dean “Anand” Anandalingam
 The
Smith School experience has the power to
change lives – starting with your own.
Globalization and the transformative
impact of technology have combined to
create an economy and business
environment unlike any other in the
history of mankind. Today’s business
leaders face challenges unimaginable
just a few generations ago. They need
the ability to deal with complexity and
think creatively in a global environment
marked by diversity while remaining
sensitive to local economies,
environments and political processes.
The Smith School is helping meet
these challenges. Smith undergraduate
and graduate programs (MBA/MS, EMBA, and
PhD) go beyond core business areas to
teach people how to think and be
innovative in a 21st century economy
driven by globalization, technology and
entrepreneurship. Smith graduates have a
competitive edge that goes beyond their
skills and knowledge. By teaching you
how to think creatively, a Smith
education will never become obsolete.
The school’s location in the
Washington, D.C., metropolitan area also
offers numerous strengths. As well as
being the seat of the federal
government, there are more large
national and multinational nonprofit
organizations headquartered in
Washington than anywhere else in the
United States – providing unique
opportunities for access to public
policy makers, as well as to leaders
focused on issues of sustainability, and
social and corporate responsibility.
Smith faculty – renowned for their
excellence in teaching and scholarship –
ferment this intellectual hotbed as they
translate the latest in business
management thought leadership to
industry and government best practices
and innovation.
With the Smith School, get ready to
embark on a journey that will change the
way you approach problems, find
solutions, challenge yourself and
inspire others. Whether you are seeking
an outstanding business education,
exceptional employees, or expert
consultation, selecting the University
of Maryland's Smith School of Business
will continue to have impact throughout
the life of your career.
