An Advanced Degree Equals a Competitive Advantage

Earning a master’s degree helps you develop the specialized knowledge employers seek, making you stand out among other candidates. It is required for most middle- to upper-management positions as well as qualifying for most professional licenses or pursuing a doctorate degree.

According to The U.S. Census Bureau, having a master’s degree compared to just a bachelor’s degree, gives you the potential to earn $400,000 more over a lifetime, but it varies depending on the industry. 

  • Many of our master’s programs are offered online, allowing you to continue working as you study. University of Massachusetts Global is one of the leading U.S. public and private educational institutions. UMass Global has ranked among the best universities for online programs for 11 consecutive years by U.S. News & World Report. More about UMass Global’s awards.

  • Some of our master’s degree programs offer field experience, increasing your ability to put your new skills to work and to feel comfortable pursing a job or promotion immediately following graduation.
