Testimonials

I thought going into my MBA it would reinforce things I had already learned, but it also opened up new ways of thinking.

Alice C.
Business Administration, MBA

I did this for my son and the mothers of children with special needs. Someone who could truly understand them needed to sit on the other end at those IEP meetings; UMass Global made it possible.

Andrea M.
Education, Leadership in Early Childhood Education, MAE

For an individual that was returning to college after a long break, this was an excellent experience! I learned so much through this program that I could apply in today’s working world. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to obtain their higher education!

Marsha S.
Business Administration, BBA

I'm over the moon that their staff made it so easy, and I learned so much that I could apply to my work right now. I improved myself in leadership competencies and it’s made me a much better leader for the Department of the Navy.
