,UMGC IN MARYLAND AND AROUND THE WORLD
At University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC), a high-quality education is always within reach.
UMGC is dedicated to offering on-site and online courses and resources to adult students in Maryland
and around the world. Under contract to the U.S. Department of Defense, UMGC is one of the largest
providers of education to the U.S. military worldwide and serves more than 50,000 active-duty military
servicemembers, reservists, veterans, and their families. With more than 140 worldwide classroom and
service locations in more than 20 countries and territories and more than 90 undergraduate and graduate
degree, certificate, and specialization curricula offered entirely online, UMGC makes it possible to earn a
widely respected degree from just about anywhere.

UMGC’s commitment to students around the globe extends far beyond providing access to excellent
degree programs. An online academic and administrative services portal, MyUMGC, makes it simple for
you to register for courses, pay tuition, apply for graduation, and update your personal information when
it’s convenient for you. You can also access academic and career advising, financial aid counseling,
library services, and much more online via the university’s website or by phone or e-mail. All over the
world, UMGC gives you what you need to succeed.

,From the Dean
I am pleased to welcome you to The
Undergraduate School of University
of Maryland Global Campus (formerly
University of Maryland University College)
for the 2019–2020 academic year.

On July 1, 2019, our name was officially
changed to University of Maryland Global
Campus by an act of the Maryland State
General Assembly to better reflect our
position as a state university with a
global footprint. The new name reveals
our values, goals, and commitment
to serving students across the world, as we have done since 1947.
It reflects both our rich history as a University System of Maryland
institution and our enduring mission to serve students in Maryland, the
United States, and in the global community.

Our new website—umgc.edu—is now up and running, but if you look
for us under the old URL, you will be redirected to the new. You may
notice that the e-mail addresses provided here still say “umgc”; e-mail
addresses won’t be updated until early in the new year and will continue
to be valid for some months after that.
