UMUC MBA - Great
May 4, 2012
Overall, this is a very good school. I have significantly improved my knowledge and the information learned is actually helping my career. The professors have been EXCEPTIONAL, especially for an online environment (except Dr. Sandeep Patnaik - he's OK overall, is engaged and I have learned a decent amount from his class, but he's nowhere near as motivating, organized and clear on expectations as the others). Getting registered and "attending" the online classes has been ...

Good program, worth it for the right situation
February 15, 2012
Bottom Line: Recognized state school, good for "older" professionals who do not have time to go full time or leave their jobs. Fills in 'blanks' in a resume for advanced degree. Works perfectly for government jobs (federal) that require an advanced degree. You can also get hired at a higher GS (ranking level) within the government for the advanced degree. If you do well, you may be invited to join Phi Kappa Phi if you ...

This is only a platform for taking money from the Federal Government. You might get credentials, but I doubt that any reputable company would take them seriously.

Poor Option for Graduate School
August 22, 2011
I completed my undergraduate degree from a top 50 ranked university. I found my undergraduate education challanging yet valuable to my future career. After beginning my career, I desired to further my career by continuing my education. I selected UMUC after receiving recommendations from co-workers that it was a challanging and valuable option. The program IS very convenient for professionals. The downfall of this program is that the University operates like a business and not ...

PAY ATTENTION

Look. I've read all the emails from this is a "diploma mill" to bashing elitist Ivy League snobs. Everyone needs to step back and look what is being offered. Is this school Harvard, no. Is this school accredited and a part of the Maryland University system, yes. Is the majority of the students 20 somethings, yes. Does every other University from Harvard to the worst state run school have 20 somethings yes. I'm finishing the ...

Great Experience
May 8, 2011
I graduated in 2005 with a BS in Environmental Management and not am graduating with a MS in Business-Human Resources. I have been a student at this school constantly for nearly 7 years. I have no complaints at all. The courses are not easy by any means and can be quite challenging. As with any school it is up to the student as to what they want to get out of it. I have used ...

UMUC MBA
December 18, 2010
I am currently in the UMUC MBA program, and so far I have only mild complaints. All in all, I would have to say that the "team based" projects, required in the courses, can be problematic. When you have students form around the world trying to communicate through various mediums (including the Web Tycho), it can cause all sorts of mayhem. The other issue I have, which represents much of my dissatifaction with the program, ...
