Flexible Ways to Learn
At University of Massachusetts Global, we recognize that every student is unique and can learn in different ways.

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).
