University of Maryland University College

I agree, this school is definitely not a diploma mill.  Some of these class's are difficult, but being difficult doesn't always mean its good.  Some classes are great, it really depends on your professor and how involved they are or motivated to teach.  I've had several teachers who love to teach, and are working in the field as well.  I've gotten great advice from the professors.  You get out of it what you put into it.

As others have said, you get out of this school what you put into it.  Sure there are some professors who allow some flexibility with turning in late assignments and some are harder grades than others.  I graduated from UMUC with a BS in Accounting and am working towards the MS in Management and Accounting.  Before attending here, I attended UMCP, which was also extremely challenging.  I do believe that the quality of the education rests with the professors, most of whom are professionals with real experience and ability to relate their experiences in the classroom.  You may not be an "Ivy Leaguer" when you graduate, but you will have a solid practical education.  I will agree that the advisors and academic support are lacking and somewhat inept. 

No. Because it's not an online degree.

the school offers online classes and brick and mortar classes. Even for the online classes the exams are not online; you take them at UMUC or get them proctored by a college in your area. 

I don't know if you have enrolled and started the program yet, but I'm starting the Masters of CSEC on the 6th. I can give you updates along the way if you'd like?

Has anyone taken courses in the Masters of cybersecurity program? 

I agree 100%. I had classmates here that turned half of their assignments during the semester and got a B. All the weight of the final exam (25-35% of your final grade) is beneficial only for those who are excellent test takers. A great deal of the classes use 35% of the final to determine your grade. it's ridiculous to put so much weight into a final exam when you turned in so much work only to get a B due to the final. This is a great school, just not for me either!

Hello all,

I would like to inquire about experiences with the Master of Science in Environmental Management program.

Regards,

Marty

Hello everyone, I just want to get some feedback on the support team at UMUC. If there is someone out there send me an email at jaimemedina75@yahoo.com. I'm researching different schools, this school is a "pretty penny" but I guess a good education doesn't come cheap. Anyone out there that want to email any other comments, feel free
to do so. I need all the feedback so I can make a good choice. thanks

This is exaxtly how I feel..You motivate by typing this. Thanks.

The one recommendation I do have for UMUC is to drop WebTycho and implement BlackBoard. In my opinion, BlackBoard is a better system. People may find that it is more user friendly.

I am surprised that more students from UMCP and UMUC, living in the Adelphi area, have not clarified this issue about UMUC being online only. UMUC offers online classes, but it also offers in person classes, not only in MD, but around the world. In fact, the "brick and mortar" UMUC and CP buildings share the same land. On one occasion, I walked out of my class, took a wrong turn, and ended up at the CP Smith School of Business. On a map you can see that they share the same land. I've even used the CP library. On an interesting note, UMUC is why MD is known around the world. When you say MD. in another country, many times the people relate that to UMUC–especially because of the military connection. UMUC has made The Uni. Sys. of MD famous.     

The prestige issue usually comes from elitist students who "forget" what CP campus life is like. It is not an Ivy League school, but there are still those who like the branding of "flagship campus" and use their affiliation with it to justify turning their noses up at UMUC students-but many of the professors are the same. Here is the other joke: while I was a student, I was also a police officer. I charged several CP students with drug possession. There were many others who got into trouble for other serious offenses. I mention that to point out that CP has "common" college problems. It also demonstrates that SAT scores and low acceptance rates do not indicate maturity or what I would consider good morals. Many of the UMUC students I encountered in MD and overseas, were more mature (probably due to life responsibilities). In one of my UMUC classes, I had a high ranking military commander, Pentagon employee, Princeton alum, and business owner. Some UMUC students even went to CP as undergrads. It is of note that several of my classmates were human resources managers who may get a few CP student resumes across their desks (smile). 

It is clear that these are established people who want to continue their educations. It has very little to do with SAT scores at this point in their lives. It has much more to do with a desire to continue learning. For that reason, I commend UMUC for partnering with the US military, Booz Allen, the NSA, Lockhead Martin, and other reputable organizations to make that desire a reality for many highly intelligent and already successful adults.   

In my particular case, I came out of semi-retirement after selling my businesses and making enough to never work again just to pursue a graduate degree at UMUC. I cannot fathom a CP student telling me that their degree is more prestigous than mine. What an interesting conversation we would have...

I am towards the end of my first term in the MBA program at UMUC, its been great, not easy but rewarding. I am learning a lot. I did the traditional on campus path at The University of Georgia for my undergrad and find the courses just as challenging at UMUC. Everyone who is saying negative comments about UMUC are wrong and it is accredited by the same body that accredits other large state and research Universities. It is the real deal. Don't let people who failed at UMUC bring UMUC down.

Stop lying Joe.

I have attended UMUC while i was in Korea and deployed once, and the in classroom experiences were nothing short of spectacular.  However, their online programs are horrible, specifically the computer science program.  I was going for a BSCS with a minor in forensics.  There were classes at the 300 level about how to use office, excel and create an access database.  That is pathetic.  

Also, their admissions people like to play the we will get back to you but never do game.

Just a hopeful motivation statement Im a Military guy looking to earn my degree as some here, and wanted to add this piece as to some say UMUC doesnt rate like UMCP, someone said UCLA is is like UMD, they are both part of state uni system, University of California-Los Angeles,are they better than (CAL)University of California(Flagship) or UCSD University of California-San Diego( one of the top ranked science schools in the nation)no the all fall under University of California, and hold the same power as CAL so dont be discoureged. If you Grad from UMUC vs. UMUC vs. UMBC its just a differnt campus.

April,
I am currently enrolled in my last 2 classes with UMUC and will be receiving my Bachelors Degree in Accounting with a minor in Business Administration. Every single class with the exception of my Capstone final class has had a midterm, final, as well as homework, analytical research papers and group projects that account for your grade. The final grade is weighted heavily which, for me, has ranged between 20 - 30%. The capstone class has 6 case papers, an individual paper and a group project but no midterm or final. This has been my ONLY exception in my entire degree process. I am not sure what your discipline was but all of my classes have had this structure. 

Also, someone above asked the marketing weight of a degree that says UMUC instead of Univerisity of MD. I was hired by my employer over a University of MD student to a high paying job. The reason, my employer explained, was that UMUC indicates to employers that you are dedicated to learning. To complete this course of study you would be working AND going to school and you made the commitment to complete it. The last thing my company wanted was a student with no experience and a shiny piece of paper with a name on it. No disrespect to University of Maryland. I would have gone there if I didn't have to work and had the luxury of attending full time. 

I am proud of my accomplishment and know I have received a great education. My "credentials" from this school turned the head of my employer and several others that requested interviews from me. I wasnt lucky enough to have mommy and daddy pay for me to go to college right out of high school but I am smart enough to know that as a working professional, my UMUC degree has held its promise and I am a better leader because of it.

I personally do not like UMUC.  I have done 2 semesters there, and I discovered it's not for me.  I don't like the online format for one thing.  I also don't like how they have one exam at the end of the semester and that's it.  All this weight (usually about a third of your grade) is put into one test and you have to remember everything you learned over the semester for this one test.  I like Penn State better because they have midterms and finals, where the midterm covers the material over the first half of the semester, and the final covers the last half.  Some classes have quizzes at the end of each week, and they drop the 2 lowest grades to calculate your final grade.  They also have other testing throughout the semester and not just one final 3 hr exam.  I think this is important because some people (like myself) can be straight "A" students but freeze when it comes to exams.  If you are given 2+ exams and or quizzes through the semester, it balances things out.  Plus Penn State is the 4th best school on the east coast after Harvard, Yale and Princeton.  I really do not like UMUC.  The only thing is that they are affiliated with U of MD system and the tuition is cheap.  Other than that, you can do better with Penn State.  UOP is worthless (been there, done that...don't waste your time or money).  UMUC isn't a bad school, but it just isn't for me.

I want to clear up some misinformation in  UMUC2010's post about AASBC accreditation.

Towson University's College of Business and Economics is accredited by AASBC for BS/BA degrees.  

Further the joint UB/Towson MBA is also accredited. 

Go to Towson's C.B.E and MBA website and check it for yourself.

Discloser: I'm a Towson alumni in Business Admin and a UMUC graduate student in Information Technology.

I graduated from UMUC in 2004, while still in the Air Force.  After leaving the Air Force I was hired into a federally appointed position as a GS-13, in large part because of my UMUC education.  The education that I received was top notch.  I was then accepted into Grad School at 4 other major universities (Boston University, Bowling Green State University, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Cincinnati);  scoring very well on my GRE.  Bottom line, employers are looking for those who will represent their agencies and companies well.  UMUC prepares you to take a leadership role.

@ DegreeShock. You are not transferring 113 credits to no university. That is simply not going to happen. Do you think that another university is going to allow you to take only seven more credits with them to get a Bachelors. Please! Why are you even comparing a public state university such as UMUC, which is in the state of Maryland university system, to a private for profit like the University of Phoenix? Hmmmmm, doesn't make sense.

Is it stated on the umuc diploma that its an online degree?

I am seven (SEVEN!) credits away from graduating with a BA from UMUC. I chose UMUC simply because it has campuses overseas; I've lived oversease since I was 19, so there was no other choice for me other than University of Phoenix or Central Texas College (I'm active duty military). Now that I'm so close to graduation, I'm finding out for the first time that UMUC and UMD are two separate entities; I'm quite simply crushed. The name of the school is extremely misleading. I've been telling people for years that I'm a student at UMD. Even the professors and staff say "UMD" when you talk to them. I genuinely feel that I've been scammed. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that UMUC is a good school with full accreditation, but there is definitely a perception that it's just another University of Phoenix; I'm sure that employers must have the same perception. I cringe when I think about all the times over the years I introduced myself as a student at UMD. Now, with only seven credits left, I'm seriously considering bailing out of UMUC and transfering my 113 credits to a different school with a "better name." Luckily, my entire education has been paid for with tuition assistance, so I have the option of jumping ship; I feel sorry for all those students with tens of thousands of dollars wasted. Question: Am I over-reacting? I would like to hear an unbiased answer from someone not affiliated with either UMUC or UMD. College Park students really seem to thumb their noses at UMUC students, and UMUC students seem obligated to defend their alma mater. I wish my daddy had paid for me to get drunk for four years at a "real" college but it just wasn't in the cards. I've earned straight A's for four years, have yet to attend a single frat party, and I've still managed to raise a family and have a successful career in the Marines; perhaps I would have been better off getting wasted at the University of Georgia for four years, rather than pulling myself up by own boot straps.

The real truth of the matter is that most people are unaware of the history of the University of Maryland.  UMCP vs. UMUC vs. UMES vs. UMBC.  They are all in the University system of maryland and according to a state law ANY institution within that system can use the name "University of Maryland".  That distinction does not belong to College Park solely.  And, BTW...a resume is not a legally binding document.  Neither is a website.  But, an employment application is a legally binding document.  One can use University of Maryland on a resume or a website but when asked to state the degree granting institution on an employment application it is best to use the exact degree-granting university.  

As for the quality of the programs, I believe that College Park is not and never will be known for anything above being a "C" student school with a bunch of immature students that like to party.  It was like that in the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's; nothing much has changed in the 21st century. The content of UMUC's programs in some respects is the EXACT same content at College Park.  I've seen this myself through an investigation of an engineering program offered by both institutions.  The only thing that makes College Park a "flagship" is the artificially selective admissions which does not give you any real indication of quality of the programs or teaching. If you really were so much of an elitist looking for a flagship school to wow employers - then you would have gotten yourselves on a full ride scholarship to a real flagship public ivy such as UCLA or even a private ivy like Harvard, Columbia, Yale, etc...where you know the brand name means something.  Stop trying to make College Park-UMD more than what it really is by using UMUC as a downward comparison.  They are essentially the same.

Do students earning certificates get them in a graduation ceremony or at another time?

Anyone have any experience with the courses in this program?

I just graduated from the Masters of Science in Homeland Security program. All of the HSMN courses were rigorous and required substantial research, writing, and interactivity. Group projects were also required in most classes. The MGMT courses were also quite good - one of my management professors had received the top professor award a number of years. Two of the courses required for the degree but taught by professors outside of either the HSMN or MGMT disciplines were quite poor - in one, the content was excellent but the responsiveness inadequate. In another, both content and responsiveness were poor. I will say, having graduated from a tier-one law school with a J.D., I was surprised by the depth of the material, the overall quality of most instruction, and the amount and depth of the research and writing. Now that it is over, I am quite pleased to have attended UMUC and proud to list it on my C.V. By the way, I have already scored two adjunct associate faculty teaching gigs in Emergency Management from other universities, so the degree is respected, at least in the homeland security management/emergency management arena. 

UMUC is one of 11 universities in the University of Maryland System, and that is why they carry the University of Maryland name. This is no different from University of Illinois, Chicago, carrying the University of Illinois name - it is part of the same system as the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. My daughter attends the University of Nebraska - Kearney. Should they be accused of perpetrating a fraud on the University of Nebraska (Lincoln). Gee, ghost, for someone at the college level, this would seem like elementary information!

@ UMUC2010
Did you take any grammar classes while you were going to UMUC? Also, UMUC degrees carry just as much weight as UMCP degrees or any other any other  public university in the Maryland system. Employers look at accreditation of the unversity and your knowledge that was gained from the degree.You don't get hired just because you went to UMCP. Im quite sure there have been UMUC grads selcted for employment over UMCP grads. As far as cost, if you could afford to go to UMUC, then you could afford to go to UMCP.UMUC is a public university in the University of Maryland System and they are accredited by the same accrediting body as University of Maryland College Park. That is what counts. As far as their administrative procedures, public universities leave it up to you to take care of things such as getting financial aid documents in on time, choosing the right classes for your degree, registering for your classes every semester and so on. They are not going to babysit you like private for profit schools do. UMUC is a public university that holds the same regional accreditation as UMCP so there degrees are just as marketable.

I had the pleasure of working and attending UMUC overseas.... Not! I'm not sure how state side UMUC works, but I can say that UMUC overseas admin office is unorganized. I remember students receiving bills even after they had paid them off. I also experienced the same thing. My advice to UMUC students is save all your receipts.

I just finished my finals & ready to graduate this semester from UMUC. For everyone confused with UMD & UMUC, UMD(Uni. of Maryland) can only be used by UMCP (Uni. of Maryland, College Park) & UMB (Uni. of Maryland, Baltimore). Only the students from those two schools can represent Terps (sport teams). UMCP & UMB are the flagship research institutes of Uni. of Maryland System (UMS). They are the most difficult ones to get into. There are 6 other Unis. in UMS aside from previous two. They are (UMUC (University College), UMBC(Baltimore County), UMES(Eastern Shore), Bowie State, Towson Uni., Frostburg State). They are all ACCREDITED, public, non-profit, & Maryland State funded Universities even though most of the funds goes to UMCP & UMB. However, Only UMCP is ACCREDITED from AACSB for having dedicated renowned "Robert H. Smith" (Smith) School of business. Among the institutions in the UMS, only UMUC is the best suited for working adults & students who do not fit into regular, traditional Uni. student life like ME! Since, I am not lucky enough to just go school & don't have to worry about living, I have to work full time. That makes very difficult for me to find school in Maryland and DC area. All of the schools I mentioned above are all Traditional Uni. Only UMUC has after hour classes (7p-9:45p). I did not take any online classes at all, so I can only share info about face to face classes. Here is what i think about UMUC. UMUC is a OK school. The Quality is OK for working adults with families & Bills to pay. Yes, The degree from UMUC does not have the same weight as the degree from UMCP (Other Uni.s do not have the same weight as UMCP either). I had some really good Professors (one is all time best on Ratemyprofessor.com), & some Horrible, no idea how they get the job Professors, too. The same goes for Admin & Advisors as well. UMUC's degree is not marketable as UMCP in private sector especially in this economy situation in which Employers can get UMCP or Same level grads easily. UMUC's career center & support is a joke. But you need to consider the fact that most of the people goes to UMUC already have jobs. There are some few good notes. I have two very close UMUC friends get into Smith Business School for MBA and MS programs. Both got jobs before finishing programs with Smith. So, my advice is, IF you want to be a full time student and your parents can pay for you, go to UMCP or some traditional university. But IF you are less lucky & can't afford both time and/or money to be a full time student, then UMUC might be a good choice for you. It is definitely better than Uni. of Phoenix or Strayer or any "for-profit" universities. However, keep in mind UMUC is not the best Uni. It needs a lot of improvements. Honestly, I really am not satisfied with UMUC. I wish I had a chance to go to UMCP & be a full time student. I did not have choice to go to better school. I couldn't afford them. Hope this will help.

@ CJ - U Mass, Penn State & ASU are pretty good brick n mortar schools offering online degrees as well. Check out their programs to see if they have what u want. I plan on attending one of these instead.

@ CJ 112
UMUC is a public university in the University of Maryland System and is regionally accredited. Employers will respect a degree from this university.

I am really considering a Doctor of Management program at UMUC. I have already researched Argosy, Walden and Phoenix and their reputation with employers has not been something to write home about. I am thinking UMUC should be better because they are affiliated to UMCP. Shouldn't this make them better? A lot of brick and mortar universities do not make it easy for full time workers. I'm looking for an online with brick and mortar affiliation. Any advise will be appreciated.

I have taken 5 classes with UMUC both inside the classroom and online.  I had a lot of communication issues with my WRTG101 professor.  He kept forgetting who I was.  Yes I know these teachers have tons of students, but he would mix my grades with another student in the class.  I though this was odd and contacted other students in the class and they were experiencing the same issue.  I am currently in a battle with him six months after the class, first trying to get my "I" turned into a grade, (He thought I dropped out in week 2), secondly getting the right grade in the system!

is UMUC best for online Graduation? thankful if i get any advice..

UMUC IS GOOD UNIVERSITY

UMUC is a public university in the University of Maryland system, so your degree is very marketable. I would rather attend a public or state school online than one of those for profits that are not respected. Any school in the University of Maryland System is going to be respected in the workforce.

The University System of Maryland comprises a number of schools, including both UMCP and UMUC.  They are in the same umbrella system.

That being said ONLY UMCP and UM Baltimore (not UMBC) are allowed to say "University of Maryland."

They wanted it to be clear that the Flagship schools (UMCP and Baltimore) were different than say UM Frostburg or whatever.  It is still a school in the University System of Maryland.  So it is a state school.  Don't feel you are any worse than any other school in the system just because you can't say UM.  UMBC can't say that either and that is certainly an excellent school.

Nystrjjr said it, how marketable is a UMUC degree?  This statement is why I am seeking education from another institution.  I am a life-long Marylander and a current UMUC student attending as a working adult.  Though they share the same campus, UMUC is NOT the University of Maryland, that title belongs to UMCP. 

College Park students have never gone nor had to distinguish themselves from the other MD campuses, they simply say they went to the University of Maryland, which is correct.  UMUC students are not attending the University of Maryland, I'm sorry.  UMUC is a separate institution, governed by the same board of regents, and generating attendance from the use of the University of Maryland name, that belongs solely to the institution of UMCP.  This is borderline of fraud.

I chose this school because I thought that I would be graduating from the University of MD and thought I could tell employers that I attended the school that I grew up around.  I cant say that I simply attended U of MD, that would be incorrect.  The diploma states UMUC in its entirety and not U of MD solely, which is how the UMCP diploma is stated.

The UMUC diploma does not, and I will repeat DOES NOT carry the same weight with employers as does the degree/diploma earned at U of MD.  It is like choosing one of those other online education providers with campuses all over the country.  I can not say that I have not learned anything, but they do lack minor modern technology delivery methods.  My main issue is with the marketability of my diploma.  This is why I am switching institutions.  I can not afford to continue my education with a college that deceives the public by drawing credit through the use of a name that clearly belongs to another.  Is it identity theft?

I should have researched this further before I enrolled.  But they do not make it easy to find out this information, nor do they try to disclose that they are a completely separate institution not considered attending the U of MD, and that your degree and diploma is not the same degree as you would earn at the University of Maryland.  I have been lying to people thinking I was attending this institution, my apologies to them.

I'm just wondering how marketable is a UMUC degree? When I was on terminal leave from the Army I worked for a staffing firm and learned a lot about the real world (outside the government) and online degrees (Univ of Phx, Webster, National etc.) employers won't even look at. The same with an international degree (employers have no way of verification) Has anyone landed a career(outside of government service to include a contract postion) because of a UMUC degree?

Off topic here, but I'm wondering: Have you killed anybody and if so what was it like?

I am currently a UMUC finance student and active duty military. I have been attending this school since 2006 and I have enjoyed my experience. The flexibility that the online degree program offers is excellent, especially when you work in a unit with a high ops tempo. 

I don't have any complaints as far as the school is concerned: I feel that I am getting a quality education, most of the professors I've had have outstanding credentials, and financial aide and student advisory has been adequate. To be honest, my only concern for the school is outsider perception. You don't need to look further than recent postings to see peoples' automatic bias against this school. My concern is that this could potentially hinder my ability to get a decent job, let alone an interview.

That being said, it appears that students from this school are widely sought after by employers (government/private) in the maryland/Washington D.C. area, which is awesome--if you live or plan on living in that area. This makes sense since many UMUC students do tend to be disciplined working adults, and not-to-mention, people with a military backround. 

For students in my circumstance, I imagine we may run in to difficulties explaining where we went to school and why it isn't associated with the Smith School of Business, more importantly, why our degree isn't backed by an AACSB institution. 

Those are my major concerns, but, they're not entirely warranted because I simply don't know the truth; I'm just speculating. 

Before going to this school I recommend researching the schools of interest to employers from the field you'd like to work in. If you're just trying to get some general credits, this school is fine without doing any research--your credits WILL transfer.

I hope you found this insightful. Thanks!

UMUC is a well established University with both classroom and online courses just like many of the other major schools. I graduated with a B.S. in Management Studies and enjoyed every minute of it.  If it wasn't for their support of the U.S. Military Overseas, I wouldn't have earned my degree. All schools have issues, accept the fact and move on.

watch out they are in bed with the banks. They wont use your financial aid or scholorships.

I went to U MD @ college Park and just want to clarify: UMUC is NOT just an online school.  College Park is the flagship of the University of Md system, so perhaps that's where people are confused.  But UMUC is a part of the University of MD system and has been around since 1947, so it's an accredited school-- anyone who has a degree from there should be proud of themselves.  It focuses more on working adults and those who want to return to school to get their degree.

I am an international student coming for a masters degree. Can I have a mobile number of any student who is still there. Thanks, Jude(2348034375459)

Lets call it what it is everyone... no UMUC is not the University of Maryland College Park and most UMUC students will not try and say such... UMUC is a fantastic state school that puts the focus on adults.  As a 27 year old student with a full time job UMUC is the perfect school for me to finish my degree.  Its a very large school with a few administrative problems... but it offers something that many schools including UMCP don't offer and thats a chance for the working adult to finish his/her degree at night or online... if thats what you are looking for then UMUC is the right school for you.  If not... then pick a different school.

O6 didn't elaborate, but he's right.  UMUC is not College Park.  UMUC isn't even UMBC Baltimore County.  The College Park crowd will go out of their way to remind people of the fact.  Wear a Terps shirt but say you're from UMUC and you're shark bait.  That's what O6 was getting at.  UMUC is a perfectly adequate school for the workforce; nothing wrong or fishy about it. It is simply not an honest way to benefit off the prestige of the nationally-ranked Maryland Terp brand by going to UMUC.  It takes very strong SAT/GPA/Essay/References to be a Terp, with some of the lowest acceptance rates in the nation, and UMUC is pretty much an open-door extension school and workforce training center where getting in means nothing, but graduating means everything.  I wouldn't mind going to UMUC but they don't discount tuition for reservists unless its during deployment, exactly when I DON'T have time to take a class. (bang-zoom to the moon, Alice!)

USN 0-6 is right. Go to a real school. All online schools are the same.

USN 0-6 (ret),
You seem to poke your nose on the pages for lots of schools. Did you flunk out of all of them?

Re: Wedge:
A friend of mine graduated from there and printed on the degree is your area of study and "University of Maryland-University College".

What will it say on your diploma........online or University of Maryland-University College?  I was just wondering.

UMUC is the evening school for non-traditional students for UMCP (the main University of Maryland campus).  Just like any other school in the University of MD system, it is its own university.  It has the University of MD system standing behind it.

I have taken a few courses here, in person and online.  It is a 4 year state university, not a for profit business like so many online schools.  It has all the advantages and disadvantages that brings- it is big with some administrative snafus, it has a lot of options, and it is a good school.

If they had an online or on campus evening MA in psychology or counseling I'd go there in an instant.

Watch out for this one folks... this is not the U of Maryland of the Terps but UMUC.  I have many military students coming back from overseas with horror stories of classes from this uni.

University of Maryland University College has distance Doctor of Management program. Can anyone give me opinion on it if you are current student or been through the program all the way. Thanks.

Is UMUC Regionally Accredited.  I am unfamiliar with these accrediting processes and I would like to know.
Thanks:)
