If I put more time in it I can get it done faster. The best part is that you find out what you do know and what you need to know.

Flexible Ways to Learn
At University of Massachusetts Global, we recognize that every student is unique and can learn in different ways. Some are completely self-driven and can work on their own; others prefer the more traditional instructor-led approach. That’s why we offer two approaches for our online curriculum in our School of Business & Professional Studies — instructor-led/session-based degrees and competency-based, self-paced degrees (UMass Global MyPath). Which works better for you?
