Committed to Quality Education

When you’re exploring universities and online degree programs, accreditation is one of the most important things to look for. While it’s not mandatory for institutions to be accredited, it’s a strong signal that a school meets high standards for academic quality and integrity. Accreditation can also make a real difference when it comes to transferring credits, qualifying for financial aid, and even landing a job—many employers prefer or require degrees from accredited institutions. 

At University of Massachusetts Global, we’re proud to hold both regional and program-specific accreditations. You can explore the full list of our current accreditations below.
