Whether you plan to advance in the military or begin a new career, higher education is the key to success. Because it can be challenging to pursue an education while coping with the many demands of military and personal life, you need a university that can deliver the following benefits.

1. Education Excellence. First and foremost, you deserve a quality education from a university that is recognized and respected within the military community and in the private sector. University of Maryland University College (UMUC) is an accredited university, a world leader in online education and a member of the University System of Maryland, plus an education partner with the U.S. military for more than 50 years.

2. Academic Choice. Career success requires specialized knowledge in your chosen field. At UMUC, you will find programs in high-demand and emerging career fields and a huge selection of thought-provoking courses. You can choose from more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree and certificate programs.

3. Portable Programs. You need a university that can keep pace with your mobile lifestyle. At UMUC, you can continue your education wherever you go by attending classes at more than 120 military sites worldwide or by taking courses online. In addition, our transfer credit policies and partnerships with military schools recognize your previous educational achievements.

4. Convenient Classes and Services. You need the flexibility to plan your studies around your busy workload and unpredictable schedule. UMUC gives you plenty of options – award-winning online programs that are accessible at any time or place, and evening and weekend classes at UMUC installations in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, as well as in Europe and Asia (including the Middle East). UMUC also offers online advising, registration, library services, and technical support for your convenience.

5. Affordable Education. If cost is a concern, as it is for most adult students, be sure to consider all your financing options, especially your military education benefits. UMUC lightens your financial load by offering special tuition rates and scholarships to active-duty military and their spouses, as well as financial aid and other options.
