Set yourself up for success.
Authentic Education. UMass Boston is the city’s only public research university. Our mission is access to higher education for all, and we’re taking it seriously. UMB Online & Continuing Education gives you digital access to the same quality courses and programs we offer on campus, taught by the same academic departments. We run this ourselves, not through a third party, so you get the very best of what UMass Boston has to offer.

Inspired Distance Learning.
UMass Boston has deep roots in Instructional Design — the use of technology and techniques to improve adult learning — so it’s only natural that we feature it. Each online course is prepared by a team of our own professors, instructional designers, and IT specialists, then vetted with students. That way, we can ensure the quality and accessibility for all.
