University of Maryland University College Employer Reviews

A typical day within the Exeuctive MBA program was spent answering email, phone call and various other correspondences. Time was also spent preparing for the upcoming weekends classes and working with the faculty to obtain their materials.

UMD is a high ranked university with a top rated computer science department and a very strong computer vision group

My typical day depends on what is needed of me. Sometimes I have to multi task and help assist others with their work. I try to be a team player at all times. My goal everyday is to make sure i assist others with meeting their goals or assignments for the day.

I really enjoyed working here so much that I would love to go back.
The environment is friendly, fast paced, fun and career oriented.
Advancement is encouraged.

A typical day , is at a desk working with managers to ensure work is done effectively. The most enjoyable part of the job is working in a positive environment.

PhD life is challenging. University of Maryland is ranking No. 13 in Physics area.

As a undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA) as a senior in college i was given charge of a lower level chemistry laboratory. I oversaw 20 students once a week for a 3-hour lab session. I also held a 1 hour UTA office hour once a week. There were also weekly meetings with all the TA's undergraduate and graduate students made up the TAs. I learned not – more... only the material necessary for the laboratories but also the processes that drove the laboratories. I also got valuable experience on being a teacher. I dealt mostly with the mentor professor and we had a good relationship. The hardest part of my job was keep my opinions and outside relationships from influencing my being a good UTA, due to the fact that I taught a few of my friends. The most enjoyable part of my job was seeing students making progress through the class and starting working relationships with my students. – less

Working at UMUC has been a learning experience for me thanks to the few people who took the time out to train me. I came into this job/industry completely unknowledged about office work, and i continue to learn more now and have become a vital part of daily operations in my dept.

Gained knowlede on aerospace engineering while being a summer intern for this facility. A Very diverse group of co-workers

Good bunch of people at UMD. Not sure about every department but the department I work in is really great very professional.

UMUC provides a great education for adult learners and a collegial environment for its professors. Nearly all professors are adjunct, but we work collaboratively and positively with each other and other professionals at UMUC to design courses that will be substantive and worthwhile for adult learners. I have been promoted from an associate professor – more... to a full professor at UMUC, and have been given numerous leadership and collaborative opportunities to work with others and to take communication education to the next level. – less

Great work environment. I currently work as a research assistant with the psychology department at the University of Maryland and I absolutely love my job

I had a very positive 3 year experience with UMUC. Every time I called or emailed for assistance, there was a quick and friendly response. There was even more than a few occasions where they contacted me just to see if I needed anything or to inform me of any pertinent happenings.

Most of those that work in my department are recent graduates. Managers can micromanage and like to keep tabs on you.

Large university system with interesting varied work including auditing and accounting

Expose to varieties of engineering experience.
Learning more new things is the biggest fun here.

A tyoical day at this work place was very slow. We had minor fixtures throughout the campus but it took us no longer than 10 to 15 min to finish the problem. I also was hired during the winter season, so meaning a lot of our work was cut out because most of our work was outside work. So, by Christmas time my hours was starting to get cut.

The most enjoyable part of the job I would have to say is comming in contact with so many different type of people. Learing new things everyday as far as the medical industry.
