Our publicly-supported University has seven degree-granting colleges and schools and an Honors College. The comprehensive scope of UMass Dartmouth includes offerings from Accounting to Visual Design and almost everything in between. Our graduate and doctoral programs attract candidates from across the country and worldwide.

The Provost’s Office works with colleagues throughout the University’s Colleges and Schools, Research Centers, and other sectors of the University to enable the faculty, staff, and students to fulfill our collective mission.
