UNIVERSITY OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA<br />
WELCOME TO YOUR UNIVERSITY<br />
You are part <strong>of</strong> a renaissance in <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> System <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Columbia</strong>.<br />
UDC continues to <strong>of</strong>fer one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> best,<br />
most affordable educational opportunities for<br />
your future.<br />
We are standing at a very unique time in our<br />
history. It is a time that has seen <strong>the</strong> birth <strong>of</strong><br />
our new Community College, providing an<br />
educational bridge from secondary to higher<br />
education and workforce development for a group <strong>of</strong> Washingtonians that have,<br />
in <strong>the</strong> past, been excluded from higher education. It is a time that has seen our<br />
institution adopt an international focus, bringing <strong>the</strong> resources, <strong>the</strong> talent and<br />
<strong>the</strong> attention <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world to our campus. It is a time in which our community<br />
realizes <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> having, right here at home, <strong>the</strong> only urban land grant<br />
<strong>University</strong> in <strong>the</strong> United States—serving as a significant economic engine for<br />
our city.<br />
In this guide is a menu <strong>of</strong> sorts—a palette from which you will color your future<br />
and your career. The choices you make will have a lasting impact as you move<br />
from this experience into <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional world. As you accomplish this, you<br />
can be sure we are always interested in your thoughts and ideas on how we can<br />
continue to improve our service to you.<br />
Please take a moment and visit us at www.udc.edu. There, you will find <strong>the</strong><br />
ability to communicate and interact with <strong>the</strong> administration as well as a resource<br />
for a vast array <strong>of</strong> online services.<br />
Congratulations on choosing <strong>the</strong> UDC System!<br />

Dr. Allen L. Sessoms, president<br />
