Fast-Tracking the Future: 3D Scholars Celebrate Graduation

At the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) spring Grad Walk, May 14-17, 2026, a cohort of 3D Scholars celebrated earning their bachelor's degree, some as many as two years ahead of their peers. They are part of the largest group of learners to complete the program in a single year, with a total of 11 graduates, including some who completed their studies in December 2025.

Through this innovative partnership between Prince George's County Public Schools, Prince George's Community College, and UMGC, 3D Scholars can earn college credit while still in high school, transition seamlessly to a four-year degree program, and complete their bachelor's degree for $10,000 or less, graduating with little or no debt.
