UMGC Stories & Testimonials

Discover the university made for you.

University of Maryland Global Campus was founded in 1947 to make respected, state university education accessible to working adults and servicemembers. Back then, that meant sending professors overseas to post-war Europe. Today, it means offering affordable online programs and student services to help you advance your education and plan for your next success, no matter where life takes you—even under the most challenging circumstances. You’re why we’re here and why we’ve grown to become the largest public university in the nation. Don’t wait—you’re ready to succeed again.

"It's like a community..."

"The support for students is everywhere. Everyone is there to make sure you make your goal of graduation."

"Professors have been great..."

"They were welcoming, some with open-door policies, and they allowed me to be comfortable enough to ask whatever questions I wanted--even silly ones."

"Everything that you need to feel confident, you'll find at UMGC."

"You can be traveling around the world, and still do your classes."

"UMGC's Services..."

"Whatever concerns you have (UMGC's Student Resources) are able to describe what they have to help with those concerns; from the very beginning I felt supported."
