I’m a Maryland resident and currently at UMBC. I’m considering transferring to UMUC since I can finish the degree online at UMUC.
The purpose of this thread is to inquire about the reputation of UMUC, in comparison to UMBC. UMUC has no requirements for admission, whereas UMBC does. And if you’ve never heard of either one of these schools UMBC looks like a better school from the website. I’m also hesitant to put UMUC on my LinkedIn profile which is mostly publicly visible. I’m mostly insecure about UMUC right now but it is online and I can probably finish it much more easily and save some money. My major is Information Systems. If I do the rest of the degree at UMUC I think I can be done quicker and can finally have a degree. I don’t think it’ll matter if I finish at UMUC, but I don’t know for sure…I have seen UMBC part time instructors with degrees from UMUC. UMBC isn’t Harvard, I’ve found it to be an average or below average school but I’m worried that UMUC might hurt me…please assist.
