UMass offers many opportunities to travel abroad in order to enroll in courses, pursue an internship, perform service, undertake research, or study language.
LibrariesWhile students primarily use the library resources of their "home" campus, interlibrary loan and electronic catalogs allow students to identify and obtain materials from other UMass campuses. The University of Massachusetts is focused on increasing the capacity of shared library resources, providing students with as many expanded offerings as possible.
