The University of Massachusetts Boston is nationally recognized as a model of excellence for urban public universities. The scenic campus is located on the waterfront, next to the John F. Kennedy Library, with easy access to downtown Boston. A student-centered “research university with a teaching soul,” UMass Boston boasts a 16:1 student-to-faculty ratio, and students easily interact with professors because most teaching occurs in small class sizes.

The University has five undergraduate colleges and two graduate colleges, offering over 100 undergraduate programs and 50 graduate programs. Ninety-three percent of full-time faculty hold the highest degree in their fields.
More than 100 student organizations — including clubs, literary magazines, newspaper, radio station, art gallery, and 16 NCAA Division III sports teams — offer a rich campus life. Students live throughout Greater Boston and in apartment communities just steps from the campus, and enjoy the rich amenities, cultural attractions, and educational opportunities that make the city the biggest and best college town in the nation.
