UMGC's numerous awards for outstanding achievements in online education demonstrate how successfully we have leveraged the potential of the Internet to become the online campus of the 21st century.
Our reputation as a global leader in online education is well-recognized. Our innovation, dedication, and commitment have paid off for students across the globe. Today, UMGC serves more than 80, students at classroom and service locations worldwide and online. Our name—University of Maryland Global Campus—is a mouthful, to be sure. But our name is supported by our more than 65 years of delivering high-quality education.
We are extremely proud of our name's significance, and every day we strive to live up to its promise by continuing to explore innovative ways to expand educational opportunities for busy professionals, wherever they are in the world. The discount for Federal employees and their spouses and eligible dependents will be applied to out-of-state tuition and specialty graduate programs. It does not apply to doctoral programs. However, students may not earn a second bachelor's degree with a double major.
Students may not earn a second degree in general studies, and, except for the Accounting Degree, which has a mandatory minor, may not obtain an academic minor in the second degree.
A student must have received the first bachelor's degree to be eligible to begin a second. For a second bachelor's degree, the student needs to complete at least 30 credits through the University of Maryland Global Campus after completing the first degree.
The combined credit in both degrees must add up to at least credits. Students must complete all requirements for the major. If any of these requirements were satisfied in the previous degree, the remainder necessary to complete the minimum 30 credits of new courses should be satisfied with courses related to the major.
For purposes of determining what major requirements apply to a student, the applicable date is the date the student started coursework at the University of Maryland Global Campus after being admitted into the second undergraduate degree program. As with other degrees, continuous enrollment at the University of Maryland Global Campus is required. So, what? I don't recall whether this was even noticed out of town, or whether Playboy was abused for failure to exercise due diligence.
DannoHung on Aug 12, prev next [—]. It's gonna be funny when Leo Laporte lambastes him next week. People ought to check their facts before they spread untruths. UMUC is not a distance or correspondence school. It is apparent that people in this forum are truly uninformed and do not have the sense to fact check their information.
This in and of itself ought to cause doubt on any other postings that dispute these obvious facts. Same holds true for both Jesus and Trinity Colleges. The university system, founded well before you Yanks got your footing in the world of academia, was designed to incorporate several colleges under a university system thus the term "university" and not just "college". Same holds true for our friends at Cambridge, consisting of several university colleges within the university system of Cambridge check for yourself.
By indicting the U of M University College as sub-par, one would assume you are assailing the reputation of the entire University of Maryland as a whole. At least that's the way we view it from our perspective on academics here in the UK. Does the quality of education in the American collegiate system really degrade so dramatically from one school to the next?
The hybrid classes of UMGC, in other words, combine the best of both worlds. Such allows its students to earn their degrees without missing out on the experience of going to the campus.
Such is true not only when it comes to the pace of completing their programs but also in terms of sitting in front of a computer to study. Well, UMGC makes online studying even more flexible with its hybrid classes.
Basically, hybrid classes are a combination of online classes and in-person classes. This means that some of the classes will take place on the internet, while the rest will happen inside a physical classroom. Hybrid classes are ideal for students who would like to experience going to a traditional school but do not have the time or means to commute regularly. In most cases, hybrid classes that UMGC offers take place once a week. The school knows that the majority of its students are working adults, and that is why its hybrid classes usually take place at night.
Some locations where hybrid classes are being given have weekend classes. They are perfect for students who are too tired to travel in order to attend classes on weeknights after coming home from work.
Most of them are found in Baltimore and Washington, DC areas. There are also many classrooms accessible for students who are in the military, thus preventing them from commuting unnecessarily.
By the way, some of the courses that UMGC offers to overseas its students can be completed through in-person classes completely. This means that, in some instances, it is operating just like a traditional school. Earlier, we talked about the fact that UMGC is a non-profit school.
For-profit schools are operating as businesses. College programs and diplomas are the products that they are selling. These schools will not hesitate to do anything and everything just to make sure that they will keep on making money.
Such is perfectly understandable because, after all, money is what keeps businesses in operation. If it seems like their employees are the ones that are keeping them from getting rich, most for-profit schools are likely to cut the salaries of their teaching staff and other personnel.
They may get rid of some of their benefits, too. Even though the majority of online schools are the for-profit type, UMGC is not one of them. As a matter of fact, just like what was mentioned earlier, it is a public school that is operating on the internet.
This is why the problems faced by employees working for for-profit schools are less likely to be encountered by the employees of UMGC. For instance, when UMGC had a name change back in the middle of , the contracts of all its employees had to end. However, the school gave all of them the option to simply reapply. Additionally, UMGC told everyone that they could apply for a different position if they wanted. They range from medical, dental, prescription, life insurance, to accidental death and dismemberment insurance.
