University of Maryland-University College Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Lucille

This school offers an array of undergraduate degrees to choose from for an online format.

Alison

Having the semesters broken down into 8 week terms and the online learning environment is the best thing about this school! I have a family and work shift-work. Going to college has been challenging, but UMUC really makes it easier for me. The ability to take courses online and have less courses to focus on during an 8 week term is essential to my success!

Justin

It's scheduling flexibility. The school makes it very easy to get into required classes within the semesters/terms needed.

Afua

I love the fact that it caters working adults like myself. Online classes and the flexiblity.

Shareef

Being a Freshman at Howard University comes with challeges like any other university or college. Trying to make that long transition from high school to college is harder than I expected. Even though the work was overbaring, I can honestly say that majority of the professors care about your academic advancement aswell as your personal endeavors. Everyone is like a huge family, so when I had problems with school work I could easily find someone who was willing to tutor me.

Erin

The best thing about UMUC is that I can choose to take all of my classes on line, a few classes online, or all of my classes at an actual site. I can choose which format I want to take the class in depending on my personal preference and how I will best learn the material.

Aleesha

All online except the proctered finals

John

The school is there to educate you. They are not there to collect money. The school's academic structure is challenging, and I am proud to tell everyone one I attend the University of Maryland.

Cheryl

The ability to attend school any where. I can do my school work from anywhere in the world that I can hook up to the internet.

Stephanie

The best thing about UMUC is the flexibilty and convenience of online classes. This school is perfect for those individuals they can't or prefer not to attend traditional classes. Many of the students are working men and women with families to support. Attending online classes at UMUC is extremely helpful to these men and women that want to further their education but don't have the physical time to do so.

Dominique

I like the fact the the finals are proctored for DE students because anyone could have someone else completeing the work for them and that defeats the whols purpose of gaining the knowledge about your degree.

Justin

The best thing about my school is that is catored to the military, so no matter where i am or if i am deployed i can continue working on my degree

Liz

The technology at my school is great. Especially with online learning, the school is really efficient in providing quality learning online. I work full time so online classes are really important to me and work with my schedule.

Nichol

My school offers many degrees traditionally as well as online and most classes are offered both ways. I have searched for a school that I can finish my B.S. degree at that will offer it mostly online. There are very few online Forensic Science programs offering a Biology background and my school is one of them. Since online learning is the future, this accredited school is making history by offering a very demanded major online.

Jennifer

This school offers many degrees all online. And since I do not live near a large city with a university this is a huge advantage.

Alixandria

The best thing about my school is the fact that I am free to complete my courses at my own pace. I may start or finish an assignment at any time of the day and I may take as long as I need or finish as quickly as I desire. This freedom allows for a greater amount of flexibility.

Paul

It provides individuals with a strong business education to allow the students to apply the knowledge in the real world

I am able to take all of my required courses online. I never have to set foot in a class room. This is fantastic, because I work full time!
