Welcome to UMUC Asia Welcome to University of Maryland University College and the Asia campus. Our mission—to offer quality academic programs to students whose responsibilities may include work, family, and military service — is always at the heart of our decisions. UMUC is proud to serve our students, and your success is our priority. Since our founding in 1947, UMUC has been dedicated to the education of military servicemembers, veterans, and their fami- lies. As the first American university to educate U.S. military overseas, serving the military is embedded in the university’s DNA, and we proudly carry on this heritage as one of the top military–trusted and veteran–friendly schools in the country. We are honored to serve the members of military communities throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Having served in the military, we have seen the challenges servicemembers and their families face and the sacrifices they make. We have also recognized their ambition to improve themselves and their lives. At UMUC, we answer this need by offering career– relevant academics to help you become more valuable in your current role and in the job market. Our programs and courses are designed to give you the best possible academic training, preparation, and credentials for a successful career in your field. You can achieve your dreams and your true potential — one class, one semester, one accomplished moment at a time.
