Welcome from the Dean

Welcome to UMUC’s Graduate School of
Management & Technology. The start of
the 2007–2008 academic year marks UMUC’s
60th year of providing quality educational
programs to career-focused students. It
also heralds some very exciting new developments
in the programs we offer.

As you review UMUC's programs, you’ll find
that UMUC graduate degree and certificate
programs are highly focused on specific career fields.

Course requirements have been streamlined across all disciplines, and specializations
within each degree program now share core course requirements,
making it possible to seamlessly switch specializations should your career
objectives change. Each program’s curriculum has been carefully evaluated
and redesigned to ensure that you are equipped with the critical knowledge
and skills you need in today’s competitive workforce.

One thing that will never change is the way UMUC respects and understands your time constraints. Our programs are still geared toward students who balance a full schedule of work and family responsibilities along with their educational pursuits. We offer class schedules that fit into your busy life, both online and at on-site locations throughout the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. In short, UMUC is doing everything possible to offer you the best selection of degree and certificate programs and to ensure that you reach your highest career and lifetime goals. You can also count on our graduate advisors and a
host of other valuable services available to help you every step of the way, from
the day you apply for admission to graduation day.

On behalf of our faculty and staff, thank you for choosing the UMUC Graduate
School of Management & Technology. Please accept our best wishes for
