At UMass Dartmouth, we take graduate education seriously.

Our graduate programs number more than three dozen, and include both degree and certificate options. We offer small classes; close contact with faculty and undergraduates; quality facilities for advanced study, research, and creative work; and individualized academic experiences -- all in a coastal community combining rural and urban environments.

Our programs emphasize professional and technical fields, with important links to the vitality of the region's economy. At UMass Dartmouth, research and teaching are complementary and mutually reinforcing, as talented teachers bring the excitement of their research, creative and professional activities into the classroom. Joining the 5-campus University of Massachusetts system in 1992 has led to an expanded emphasis on graduate programs.
