UMUC, Cal State agreement increases education options for soldiers - ANNE RILEY, Daily Record
Although it served nearly 90,000 students last year, with no football team, no basketball team and, well, no campus, the University of Maryland University College is often overshadowed by its more visible peer schools in the University System of Maryland. UMUC, an institution dedicated to what it calls “distributed education” or distance online learning, not only enrolls more students than any other school in the state system, but is one of the largest educators of the U.S. military worldwide, serving some 60,000 military personnel, veterans and dependents last fiscal year alone.
