What kind of person should attend University of Maryland-University College?

Cheryl

Someone who is ready to get a degree. This is where you go to get it done. All of the students are here to finish their degrees, not party.

Nikilyn

One that is very self motivated. You need to have a lot of self discipline in order to take classes online and not have the professor being there to constantly guide you.

University of Maryland-University College is a school that focuses on the best education. It offers flexible schedules that will benefit all students. UMUC gives you all the qualities of The University of Maryland, except its education is conducted online. If you are a working adult and need a flexible schedule, UMUC is just right for you. You may be a single mom trying to further your skills and education, UMUC is perfect for you. Maybe you are a recent high school graduate who decided to travel the world, UMUC allows you to still attend college. Give UMUC a chance!

There is no particular 'type' of person that should attend this school. If able, all people should whether they be traditional or non-traditional. It is never too late or a bad idea for anyone to further their education and better themselves as well as their knowledge. With that in mind, a person who shows self-motivation and self-discipline with little avilable time to attend traditional classes may benefit from enrolling at University of Maryland University College.

Liz

This school is really multi-cultural so anyone will feel comfortable coming here. A student attending this college should be determined and hard working. It's not a party college and academics are taken very seriously. The programs are very open to young students as well as adult learners and military.

Paul

Anyone who wishes to improve themselves mentally, educationally, and acedemically

I attend UMUC Europe, as my husband is stationed in the United Kingdom for his work in the US Navy. This school is ideal for someone who is in the service or a military dependent. Most of the courses offered in Harrogate are for distance education, very few are offered face to face. This great for someone who has a job and would like a more flexible schedule, however it should not be taken lightly. Distance education means you must take your studies seriously as there are not as many advantages as in traditional learning, plus they are accelerated courses.

Erica

The kind that has no time to sit down and do anything.
