At the top of the list is "Students First," and we strive to do just that for our 90,000 students at home and abroad. From its start in 1947, UMGC has demonstrated its commitment to adult learners.

We recognize that adult students need flexibility and options. UMGC is proud to be a global, 24-hour, institution of higher learning.

UMGC is also a leading higher education provider to the U.S. military, enrolling 55,000 active-duty service members, reservists, National Guard members, veterans, and family members annually.

We are proud of our military heritage and are committed to this service.
