Testimonials
UMass Global really set the bar high for what a virtual school should be doing for graduate level students by pushing, supporting, and guiding us. I'm so grateful for UMass Global, the instructors and staff, and every peer I've been fortunate enough to meet along the way.
UMass Global provided the flexibility, the support, and the resources to make success possible on my terms. The late-night study sessions, the early-morning assignments before the rest of the world woke up, the professors who understood that life doesn’t pause just because you have a deadline — that is what made the difference. UMass Global wasn’t just a university; it was a bridge between where I was and where I wanted to be.
The educational structure is very friendly to not just working professionals but to anyone who is in public service including the military. Attending UMass Global gave me a more structured foundation where I could not only learn more about leadership theories, communication, problem solving and human resource strategies but as the program specifically promotes, the wealth of knowledge learned helped me move my company forward in marketing and client growth.
UMass Global has helped me see that what I once believed was impossible can indeed become possible. From the One-Stop staff to the Academic Advisors and Professors, each of them has played a part in helping me reach where I am today. I have successfully fulfilled my lifelong dream of earning a master's degree because UMass Global's online education paved the way and made this journey a reality.
