A member of the University System of Maryland, the University of Maryland Global Campus - UMGC was founded in 1947 to make higher education more accessible to working adults. Formerly known as the University of Maryland University College, the institution changed its name in 2019 to better communicate its commitment to providing working adults with higher education "no matter where life takes them." The name change also affirms UMGC's roots as an esteemed public institution in both Maryland and across the globe.

As an employer, the University of Maryland Global Campus has offered a variety of both academic and staff positions, and its benefits include medical coverage, tuition reimbursement, and a range of retirement options for eligible employees. In the past, UMGC has hired for part-time, temporary, and remote jobs, some of which can be done entirely from home offices located anywhere in the United States.

At the time of its establishment, many UMGC students were veterans and service members returning from World War II, and by 1949, it became the first university to teach active-duty service members stationed in Europe by sending professors overseas. Today, the University of Maryland Global Campus is considered a leader and pioneer in adult higher education, offering classes for working adults both online and in over 20 countries. UMGC's mission is to cultivate highly skilled workforces through the delivery of affordable and career-relevant academic programs. Its areas of study include business and management, cybersecurity, education and training, healthcare and science, IT and computer science, liberal arts and communication, and public safety.
