Great for working adults! This is an excellent school for a self-motivated adult that is willing to take the time out to read and complete each assignment. The value of the education is comparable to some of the traditional four-year institutes, but the cost and convenience of online degrees and certificate programs are the real reasons for its success. I'm only slightly concerned with the eight-week semesters since some of the course material covered cannot possibly be absorbed within such a short time frame. So far though, UMUC has been a decent school that has met my expectations.

Decent overall I just completed my BS degree at UMUC. Overall, this is a good school but as previous posters have said, you need to be self-motivated to get the most out of your education. Also, to all of the people complaining about advisors and support, it helps a lot if you know how to use a computer. I had to call and talk to someone only one time during my 4 years, when an approval from the VA didnt arrive in time for the start of classes. EVERYTHING YOU NEED: Class lists, schedules, outstanding classes/requirements for your degree, registration etc. is online via MyUMUC. My experience overall was good. Teachers seemed to be hit or miss, some were great and provided valuable discussions & feedback while others rarely participated in discussions and graded assignments weeks after they were submitted. Its not an Ivy league school, but I wasn’t expecting one. The classes do great to fit with a working schedule.

Great Program Great school. This school will hammer you if you are a poor student that is simply looking for a fast degree. If you want to LEARN something along the way, this is your school. It is about time that I found a school that actualy enforces standards. Thank you!

Recent BS Graduate My experience at UMUC has been wonderful. My major was Computer and Information Science with a minor in Business Administration. The course format was great in that I took both online and face-to-face courses. The teams I was on during that time were great. It helped me to be a team player, meet deadlines and and work with many people, some in other countries. The cost of a UMUC education is quite reasonable. I work for a DoD contractor and I compel my co-workers, especially the military to work on their education.
