The program seems to emphasize biology, with ~half of UMBC AA future PhDs being in biology related, which fits with having the highest rate of MD/PhDs as listed in the quote – more AA PhDs in biology related than any other college. Looking at PhDs in all fields, the colleges that had the rate of AA students later receiving a PhD were:
