About
At the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC), we understand the challenges that working adults face in advancing their education while balancing careers and personal responsibilities. Our mission is to make higher education accessible and affordable for everyone. We offer a wide range of fully online programs tailored to meet the needs of our students, including degrees and certificates in business, IT, cybersecurity, healthcare, and more. Our commitment to supporting military servicemembers has been a cornerstone of our institution for over 75 years, with specialized programs and resources available to military-affiliated students. UMGC was founded in 1947 and was one of the pioneers in online education, adapting to the evolving needs of learners in an increasingly digital world. Our programs are designed with flexibility in mind, enabling students to choose between online, hybrid, and face-to-face courses at local education centers in Maryland and around the world. We also provide lifetime career services to all students to help them navigate their professional path after graduation. Our dedication to creating a supportive environment for learning is reflected in our comprehensive services and the success stories of our graduates who have excelled in their fields.
