I am here for only one or two years, and I've never taken a college class before. What can I do?

You can start by test-driving our flexible online class format by attending UMUC 411. You can familiarize yourself on achieving your educational goals through UMUC's worldwide Distance Education (DE) program. Once you've completed the coursework, you're able to apply it towards a free application waiver. Learn more here.

Many of our courses are also available On-Site to give you the benefit of one-on-one instruction and the experience of the traditional classroom environment. Once you enroll full time, you can earn your Associate's Degree in two years, and continue on with us in reaching your Bachelor's Degree since UMUC can serve you no matter where you are, anywhere in the world.
