University of Maryland University College

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!!! HORRIBLE SCHOOL. Advisers don't care about their student. they only want your money. They don't care about their students success. Save your money, time an headache, this school is truly garbage, they do not care about your success only their pockets.

I graduated with a MS degree from UMUC online studies. The work was steady, and challenging. Much research, and way more faculty expectation than traditional schooling. After 1.5 years taking one course per semester, I attempted two courses to rapidly move my endeavors to completion. The work load was impossible to keep up with, and I was set back. If you're looking for easy...don't go to UMUC. On the other hand, if you want to truly learn a new skill, or advance your career this school is a good selection. I have had some very good instructors, and a few bad ones at UMUC. This is not uncommon in any workforce industry. Some are committed to the task, and some give just enough interest to get paid. I would strongly suggest to read the university's policies online. I didn't experience "graduate counselors" providing information in full. When issues did arise and you didn't know they say "its on the website". Yes, they were more reactive than proactive in advising.

I was dropped from the Master's program and the university several years ago for failing to complete a course while on academic probation. I wrote a letter of explanation to the university requesting reconsideration because I was deployed in Afghanistan and my request was declined. I tried numerous times to resolve this issue, but all my attempts were unsuccessful. Because of this type of treatment by the university, I give them low marks in the area of "Support".

Has no real direction should just be called a M.S in Management.
