[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the benefits of UDC is that it's part of a 4 year school, so a student can go all the way through, rather than needing to reapply after 2 years, and worry about finding a local school.  This can be a specific benefit for students who anticipate a rocky transition into Community College as they won't have the pressure of needing a high GPA for transfer.

UDC's programs can be very uneven, however.  In some areas they're fantastic.  The school seems to have invested in subjects that serve DC as a whole, so it's got strong Early Childhood and Special Education programs, Speech Therapy, and some other fields.  On the other hand, if she wanted to study physics or English or something, she might be better served with MC and then a transfer.[/quote]

UDC's 4 year graduation rate is one of the worst in the country.  I've also interviewed some UDC graduates who were borderline illiterate.  Honestly, a UDC degree basically means that I'll round file the resume.  No mater what your student ends up doing, I strongly suggest somewhere else for a 4 year degree.[/quote]
