From the onset, being a student at UMass Global was an amazing experience. The advisors, instructors, support-staff, and other personnel were pivotal in ensuring my experience was rewarding and seamless.

Single Subject Credential Curriculum

The curriculum offers an embedded support course to assist candidates with all state credential requirements. There are two pathways: internship and student teaching.
