UMUC for master - oldtown77 - 02-16-2018
I'm considering UMUC (university of Maryland university college ) for graduate school.
The Master of Science in information technology with a software engineering specialization.
Any recommendations, warnings, or advises.

My only warning: they have a stupid name.
RE: UMUC for master - yb1 - 02-21-2018
A really stupid name. I'm from Maryland. I hate the name. I'm such a name snob

I have to agree they have a stupid name - but it's not as bad as any of the big 3.

Excelsior is kind of a dumb name but the other two are pretty vanilla names.

Charter Oak State College seems legit enough.
Thomas Edison State University is a bit odd, though not much different from Western Governors University.
Excelsior is a pretty bad name.

What's odd about TESU? Thomas Edison was a very famous American inventor, who lived and worked in NJ. Makes sense that they would name a college after him. There are LOTS of colleges named after people (Stanford, Yale, Harvard, Brown, Cornell - were all named after people).

It's probably the fact that they used the full name. Had it been just "Edison State University" it would sound a little less like a middle school.

Haha! You're right. And, I just happened to go to Louis Pasteur Jr. High School, which immediately came to mind when you said that.

I really like TESU's name. I like COSC too although "College" is not as good.
