The University System of Maryland (USM) is a public corporation and charter school system comprising 12 Maryland institutions of higher education. It is the 12th-largest university system in the United States, with over 125,000 undergraduate, 43,000 graduate and roughly 13,000 combined full-time and part-time faculty. ==History== The system had its roots in 1963 when the Maryland General Assembly created the Board of Trustees of the State Colleges to assume control of five former state teachers colleges: Bowie State, Coppin State, Frostburg State, Salisbury State, and Towson State. Each campus had its own administrator. In 1970, the Maryland General Assembly established a five-campus University of Maryland network comprising the University of Maryland at Baltimore, University of Maryland Baltimore County, University of Maryland, College Park, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and the University of Maryland University College and was administered by former University of Maryland, College Park president Wilson Homer Elkins(). Each member school was in turn administered by its own chancellor. In 1975, the University of Baltimore joined the Board of Trustees of the State Colleges System as an upper-division institution. In 1976, the Maryland General Assembly changed the name of the Board of Trustees of the State Colleges System to the State University and College System of Maryland. In 1985, the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute was established. 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. In 1999, the Maryland General Assembly transformed the system to the charter model.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Senate Bill 682 )〕 The system headquarters are in unincorporated Adelphi in Prince George's County.〔"(Contact/Visit Us )."
