Santa Maria Campus
Higher Education in Santa Maria
The UMass Global campus (formerly Brandman University) in Santa Maria, California, was started in 1966 to support educational opportunities for the military personnel and their families on the nearby Vandenberg Space Force Base. Our classes are offered both online and in blended formats that combine online coursework with an on-campus session. Most of our classes hold an on-campus session once a week while all other coursework is done online. Students have the benefit of in-person interactions with professors and classmates without interfering with work schedules.
Questions? Call (800) 746-0082 and speak to an enrollment coach who will guide and support you through program selection, the admissions process, and preparing for a successful start to classes.
