You will have a UMass Global One Stop team member assigned to you. He/she will provide you with information on financial aid options and assist in completing the FAFSA form. UMass Global’s goal is to ensure that you are not taking out unnecessary loans so that you may graduate as debt free as possible.

UMass Global provides 10-20% reduction in tuition for all AAA (Auto-Club Enterprises) spouses and dependents. No essay to write or financial qualifications. Please contact mgoyette@umassglobal.edu.

The scholarship provided by UMass Global for the MyPath tuition rates results in an annual tuition of approximately $5250. This assumes two billing sessions during the year. This does not take in to account fees such as the continuation fee which is assessed when a student exceeds seven months in a session.

For credit hour programs with a published tuition rate of $500/unit, the scholarship results in a tuition rate of $380/unit. Please note that these scholarships only cover the programs listed for AAA Accelerate tuition assistance.

Absolutely! At time of admission, we will look at your transcripts from other colleges and universities. In addition, learning programs from AAA University have been evaluated and will provide academic credit toward completion of certain degrees. Let us know if you have an industry recognized certification or certificate. Many of these, such as CPCU, will also provide credit toward degree completion.

Competency-based learning models were created to help free busy students from some of the restrictions common among traditional, time-based programs that award credits for completing a set number of hours. CBE considers that some students may master certain subjects faster than others. It allows students to pinpoint which subjects they’d prefer to spend a bit of extra time on and benefits greatly from experience students gather outside of the classroom.

See the table below for an overview of the differences between self-paced and instructor-led forms of education.

Most UMass Global students are working adults. Many have not been in school for years and are returning while now juggling work, family, and other commitments. UMass Global wants to ensure all students have the support needed to succeed. This includes:

• Enrollment Coach - Helps you prepare to start classes as your concierge through program selection, the admissions process, and beyond.
• Academic Advisor - Your personal resource who will stay with you throughout your entire educational journey.
• Online writing and math center - Access to resources, live tutors, and reviews of your writing to help you make the most of your time.
• Veteran and active military support - UMass Global has a long history serving military students, both active duty and retired.
• Office of Accessible Education and Counseling Services - This office supports students with documented disabilities to have equal access to the classroom and support services.
• Library services - Access to a live librarian to assist with research and a world-class library whose resources can be sent directly to your door.

Most of our undergraduate degree programs are 120 units. Since UMass Global offers six accelerated eight-week sessions per year, you have plenty of opportunities to take classes that meet your needs.

• Taking two courses per session would allow you to finish in three years, four months.
• Taking one course per session would allow you to finish in just under seven years.
• Students seeking to finish more quickly can do so with MyPath self-paced coursework.

Credits transferred from prior college coursework will also shorten the time it takes to earn a degree.

• For the MyPath programs, the time commitment depends entirely on your drive and availability.
• For the traditional credit hour programs that have eight-week sessions, students generally find they need to allot approximately 15 hours per week for a three-unit course.
