Our graduate programs are delivered online, in the classroom, or through a blended option of both. UMD’s programs are offered during the traditional fall/spring semester format, or in an innovative twelve-week, four-term plan. Whether you’re interested in an academic concentration or a highly specialized professional focus, you’ll find the program to reach your goals. We offer graduate certificates, master’s and post-baccalaureate and continuing education programs.
