University of Management and Technology is Known for Its Innovative, Challenging, and Rewarding Online Degree Programs

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA, US, July 5, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- While majority US universities and colleges raise their tuition rate annually, the University of Management and Technology (UMT) has kept its tuition rate at the level of 1998 when it was founded. It has not increased its tuition, even a penny, for 19 years. Through its innovative approach in teaching and learning, UMT has been successfully controlled the tuition rate while delivered high quality education to its students.

A report by CollegeCalc (www.collegecalc.org) in 2017 shows that UMT’s tuition is 38% cheaper than the national average private 4-year colleges and 49% cheaper than the average Virginia tuition for 4-year colleges.

Since 1998, UMT has built a strong global higher learning community through its online and distance education. Geographical boundaries do not limit UMT and its students who reside in 50 states, the District of Columbia, 4 US territories in the United States, and in 78 countries worldwide. As of February 2017, UMT has provided various levels of education programs to 22,153 students. Of these, 11,828 have earned their degrees from UMT.

How can UMT make its degree affordable and keep tuition unchanged? There is no smoke-and-mirror trickery, just effective educational practice:

• As an online university, UMT is not encumbered with many burdensome expenses traditional brick-and-mortar schools face. It does not need a large campus to host residential students. It has no classrooms or sports facilities. It does not pay for campus-wide utilities, such as heating and air conditioning.

• Recognizing that many adult learners have carried out their studies at multiple institutions, UMT allows up to 75% credit transfer for undergraduates and 50% credit transfer for graduate students. Students do not need to pay a second time for courses they have already taken.

• For active-duty military students and veterans, its affordable tuition is further reduced by 40% through its military scholarship program. Book costs are covered through UMT’s military book loan program. Military students get their degrees with no out-of-pocket expenses.

• Continual upgrading of its technology infrastructure generates operational efficiencies that are unthinkable in most schools, which are burdened by bloated bureaucracies. Students are assigned a student portal that provides them with a one-stop-shopping experience: through the portal they can enroll in courses 24/7; pay their bills; access their classes; submit assignments; take exams; review transcripts; access the e-library; interact with fellow students; and more. The effective use of technology keeps payroll costs down and provides students with immediate error-free responses to their needs.

There is more to UMT’s programs than low tuition. Of special significance is the flexibility they offer. Courses are self-paced, meaning students who work diligently to complete their coursework can finish their classes faster, while students who are juggling work and family responsibilities can study at a more relaxed pace. In both cases, students are held to the same high academic standards. UMT is also flexible in designing degree programs for students through its innovative system of Individual Learning Plans: Working with student counselors, students customize their studies to reflect their past learning experience and career aspirations.

Bottom line: UMT offers great value where value = affordability + flexibility + quality.
