Along with being a proud mom, Tiffany Washington runs her own accounting business and is working towards her bachelor's degree. Like many UMUC students, she's had a few turns in her life. After serving in the military, Tiffany went back to school. With a new determination, she earned an associate's degree in accounting, and then transferred to UMUC. Tiffany found a balance that worked for her, taking not only on-site classes, but also several online.
"I think it's important to continue to go to school to get my bachelor's degree because I can go higher. I don't want to stop until I reach that point where I can't get anything else from my education"
UMUC should change its name.
The University of Maryland, College Park (located on the adjacent campus) is a competative and prestigious school and as such garners significant name recognition. In comparison, the admisions standards and accademic rigor of UMUC are much lower. It is unfortunate that the University of Maryland brand gets watered down by UMUC's low accademic standards.
