The Universities at Shady Grove (USG) is not a university itself, but rather a campus housing degree programs from 9 different Maryland public universities. The admissions requirements, curriculum and professors are all administered by the home institution, even though you are able to take all of your classes here in Rockville. As such, your degree is awarded to you by the university that offers your program, not USG, and your diploma will say that university’s name as well.
