Lower cost education, not cheaper

This is really cool!

At UMUC, we are committed to saving students time and money by reducing or eliminating the need to purchase textbooks and other course materials. Starting in fall 2016, most graduate textbooks will be replaced with no-cost electronic resources, also referred to as Open Educational Resourses (OERs). With the exception of some courses that require the use of specific software or content that cannot be accessed for free, students will not need to purchase any course materials. The Cybersecurity Programs NO longer use textbooks. None of the courses require them.
