Save money through reduced tuition for active-duty servicemembers, spouses, and dependent children.
University of Maryland Global Campus offers reduced tuition rates for most programs for active-duty servicemembers, eligible spouses, and dependent children. Our detailed tuition page can help you find your exact costs.
