Is UMGC a Legit school?

Question

I'm considering going there for a bachelor's in computer science and was wondering if they are a legit school?  Does anyone know what the courses are like and how employers will view degrees from them after graduation?

DON W · Answer

It's legitimate.  They are part of the University of Maryland system.  They have been around for decades, formerly calling themselves the University of Maryland University Campus.  They are not as prestigious as attending the University of Maryland main campus at College Park, but if you plan to attend strictly online, they are quite reputable.  Many servicemen and women study through the UMGC.

Do you mean University of Maryland Global Campus?

Yes, it's part of the Public University System of Maryland and is regionally accredited. UMGC is one of the best-ranked online universities; it also offers in-person classes on military bases throughout the world.
