World-class faculty

As a national research university, we take pride in our world-class faculty who teach in the classroom and provide hands-on learning and practical skills developed through research and internships. We have experts in many fields, including biology, chemistry, history, political science, psychology, and more.

The art and science of student success

We take pride in our students’ success, and we work tirelessly to create programs and initiatives that help students succeed at UMass Dartmouth. With our low student-faculty ratio, we can provide one-to-one advising and mentorship with faculty members for all of our students. We also have the CAS STAR Center, which provides access to two full-time academic advisors that are dedicated to College of Arts and Sciences students.
