Graduate Studies & Admissions

UMass Dartmouth's graduate programs offer small classes; close contact with faculty and undergraduates; excellent facilities for advanced study, research, and creative work; and individualized academic experiences — all in a coastal community combining rural and urban environments.

Our programs emphasize professional and technical fields, with important links to the vitality of the region's economy. At UMass Dartmouth, research and teaching are complementary and mutually reinforcing, as talented teachers bring the excitement of their research, creative and professional activities into the classroom. Joining the 5-campus University of Massachusetts system in 1992 has led to an expanded emphasis on graduate programs.

Check out one of our 7 Doctoral programs, 25 Master's programs, Certificate programs or the Non-Degree Special Student option.

We are also delighted to note that we have just launched new programs in several burgeoning fields. Beginning in Fall 2009, students may pursue a PhD in Mathematics Education; a Psychology Master of Arts option or a Post-Master's Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis; or an online Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Environmental Policy.
