University Press of America (UPA) is the former name of an American academic publishing company based in Lanham, Maryland, which became the parent company of Rowman & Littlefield publishing house, then was later re-introduced as the name of an imprint of "itself" after changing the name of the parent company.
Originally founded in 1975, as a standalone academic publisher, University Press of America purchased the Rowman & Littlefield publishing house in 1987. In 1998, University Press of America adopted the Rowman & Littlefield name as its own,[1][2] while introducing the University Press of America name as an imprint of Rowman & Littlefield, specializing in the publication of scholarly works.[3]
In 2024 Bloomsbury Publishing acquired Rowman & Littlefield.[4] The transaction included the catalogue and the trademark of University Press of America, the domain name was redirected to the Bloomsbury Academic page of Rowman & Littlefield.
