University of Maryland-University College Top Questions

I think that anyone looking for a campus setting or a lot of interaction with their teachers should not apply.

I think a person who doesn't have self discipline should not attend because its online and it is up to you to complete your own work

People who arent dedicated to their education should not attend this college.

A person who is interested in face-to-face interactions with teachers and fellow students should not attend this school. This school is for professionals who wish to continue their education, but must have the time spent learning be totally flexible with their current lifestyle, not the other way around.

People who are looking for a huge party school that is very active and has a strong following in the sports scene should definitely look to other schools. Also, ones looking to graduate at a school that is well known for its great academic studies or artistic scene should look elsewhere. UMUC is a school with a large variety but it is not amazing in any category or high on the totem pole when comparing the academic worth versus other schools such as the Ivy Leagues.

A young student who wants the experience of living on campus.

Someone who does not work well on their own. The majority of the college's coursework is online, so you need to be able to set a schedule for yourself, and be able to hold yourself to getting the work done.

Like any college or university, I would not recommend UMUC for students who don't want to apply themselves to their work.

UMUC requires you to have excellent time management skills, especially for online classes, if you do not have the dedication to log onto your classes each week and make sure your work is submitted on time, this school is not for you.

A serious person who has goals.
