Orientation to Distance Education

Put a degree within reach no matter where you are in the world.

Welcome to University of Maryland University College's (UMUC) online orientation to distance education—a joint project of the School of Undergraduate Studies and the Graduate School.

UMUC offered its first distance education courses in 1972. Today, more than 30 percent of our students are enrolled in courses that do not require on-site class attendance. The Internet serves as their link to the university.

UMUC is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education, Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, 3624 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, (215)662-5606.
