UMT Held 2017 Commencement in Arlington Virginia

ARLINGTON, VA, USA, June 29, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On 24 June, University of Management and Technology held its 2017 Commencement at Rosslyn Spectrum in Arlington, VA. The UMT celebrated its 1,119 graduates in the Class of 2017 during its graduation ceremony. UMT also celebrated its graduates in the last five years. The great majority are working professionals.

Since 1998 when UMT began to offer degree programs, it has built a strong global learning community through its online and distance education. Geographical boundaries do not limit UMT and its students. In the past 19 years, UMT has provided various levels of education programs to 19,925 students, who reside in 50 states, the District of Columbia, 4 US territories in the United States, and in 78 countries worldwide. Of the nearly 20,000 students who have studied, 11,828 have earned their degrees from UMT.

UMT has designed its programs to provide its students with the knowledge and skills that employers are looking for. Its faculty have both the academic credentials and real-world experience to deliver courses that address the needs of employers. Throughout the year, faculty and subject matter experts review all the courses UMT delivers to refresh them and keep them up-to-date. Its learning platform infrastructure is state-of-the-art, enabling students to study online anywhere, any time, and using any device. Students can access whatever information they need about their learning effort through individualized student portals. Each student portal delivers one-stop shopping, enabling students to register for courses 24/7, access their course sites, receive and submit homework assignments, communicate with other students through forum discussions, review their transcripts, pay their bills, and more.

While the quality of UMT academic programs is on par with what traditional schools offer, the learning experience is very different. It is geared toward adult learners who want to move forward as quickly as possible to achieve their number one goal: to earn a degree that validates their knowledge and expertise. With degree in hand, they can apply for jobs that may have been out of their reach previously.

UMT expedites the learning effort by recognizing that often, its students have accumulated substantial transfer credit from schoolwork carried out in the military and at multiple institutions over a period of time. UMT accepts up to 75% transfer credit for undergrad students, and 50% transfer credit for graduates. In counseling new students, it encourages them to pursue studies in areas where they already have a competitive advantage. For example, if you are a soldier with plenty of military experience, perhaps you should consider studies in criminal justice or homeland security. When you are done with your degree, you can couple your military work experience and your education to present yourself in an attractive way. Another example: if you have several years’ experience working on projects, perhaps a degree in project management makes sense, so that in job interviews you can say: “Yes, I have both the experience and the education needed for this job.”

Because UMT online courses are self-paced, highly motivated students can complete their programs faster than at traditional semester-driven schools. If through hard work a student can complete a course in six weeks, then let him finish it and move on to the next course. The workload for self-paced courses is the same whether a student completes the course in six or a dozen weeks. While everyone experiences the same load of work, those who work harder get through faster. On the other hand, students who are juggling work and family responsibilities can opt to go through their courses at a more relaxed pace.

The University of Management and Technology's academic counseling service enables students to customize their programs to address their specific desires, skills and achievements. Whenever students enroll in the programs of the University of Management and Technology, they are assigned a counselor who provides them an Individual Learning Plan that serves their best interests. No two students have the identical learning plan, because each plan is tweaked to account for the student's past learning, current learning interests, and future career plans.

UMT is an ideal choice for students who are looking for an affordable school that accepts the coursework they have completed; enables them to work flexibly toward the degree; and provides counseling that lets them put together a program that serves them best in pursuing their careers.
