The instructors were great. I could reach out to them, and they would assist me and try to get through whatever I was trying to work on. It was a good experience.

Going the Extra Mile for Our Students
In addition to their knowledge and experience, UMGC's faculty members have proven their dedication and courage to go above and beyond to serve students throughout the history of our university.
Beginning in 1949, UMGC hired "traveling faculty" and sent them around the world, stopping for eight weeks at a time to teach courses at U.S. military bases. The tales of some of these faculty members were captured in a documentary, "Over There," which aired on Maryland Public Television on April 15, 2018.
Today, UMGC has more than 175 classroom and service locations throughout the world. Our faculty members are still hard at work, teaching courses online and in a hybrid format at more than 20 locations in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., and on military installations in more than 20 countries and territories throughout the world.
