This phenomenal school brings together a vast array of students from around the world, contributing in a plethora of meaningful ways. The faculty is extraordinary, always accommodating and gracious; they are willing to cater to many needs, which can be challenging when dealing with learners at different levels, paces, and unique learning styles.

I believe the best thing about UMUC is the amount of available classes each semster. There has not been one semester where I was worried about whether or not I would be able to meet my goals for the current or next semester. If you are not able to find a face to face class you will definately find an online class. UMUC will even open a new class that they do not offer if you are able to find eight other people that want to take the same class. UMUC is a great institution.

The flexibility is the best thing about this school. You make your own schedule, and can take a full time course load but never take more than 1 or 2 classes at a time (thanks to staggered semesters). It's great; you can complete your degree faster and at a great price!

Online classes and helpful professors. Good accredated college.

It brings many people from different walks of life together and allows me to not only further myself in my major, but it also allows me to branch out and learn about people who I may have never been given the chance to meet. The instructors are always helpful and the advisors are the best you could ask for. Definitely one of the best schools available to any type of student with any passion.

One thing I love about my school is the fact that ot offers the major that a lot of schools don't currently offer and that is cyber-security.

I can take as many or as few classes per semester as I want to, and I only have to take them two at a time, and I can still fit in 5 or 6 courses per semester because of the way that the 8 week courses break down. This allows me to earn my degree at a much quicker pace, which is good because it has taken me this long to get here.

They're so willing to help me with any questions I have and if I have more problems, there's always tutors that are very helpful!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
