“If not for the awesome advisors that I was blessed to encounter at UMGC and amazing instructors and professors, I wouldn’t be here today. It changed my life. It changed what I was able to do in my present career. And it’s changed the trajectory of what I’m going to be able to do.”

“UMGC gave me over 40 credits for my military training and experience, and it allowed me to finish much faster than I thought. UMGC is a great choice for anyone looking to build a career after the military.”
