UMC is an open admissions institution with a transfer-friendly curriculum for students with or without previous college credit. The curriculum is learner-driven, interactive, supported with technology, and involves collaboration between students, faculty, and employers. Students continue to develop their leadership, social skills, and personal growth outside of the classroom through participation in a myriad of clubs and organizations, cultural events, concerts, lectures, intramural and intercollegiate sports. Responding to Change UMC has embraced the demands of life in the Information Age society by developing a unique technology rich interactive living and learning community that provides all full-time students with notebook computers to further develop their knowledge and skills. More importantly, the curriculum not only prepares students for today's careers but also promotes an understanding and appreciation for lifelong learning that prepares UMC students for the careers of tomorrow.
