The Massachusetts Board of Higher Education approved a Bachelor of Science in Interior Architecture and Design (IAD) at UMass Dartmouth yesterday, establishing the only accredited program of its kind at a public university in New England. The program had previously been approved by the UMass Board of Trustees.
First-year student Michaela Wakefield enrolled at UML this fall as a political science major because she had become passionate about political activism in high school.
Wakefield thought she wanted to become a lawyer, but she wanted to be sure. So she also signed up for the new, one-credit Career Exploration Seminar offered by the College of Fine Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (FAHSS).
Two young children with Tay-Sachs disease were treated safely at UMass Memorial Medical Center with a gene therapy developed at UMass Medical School and, in one case, the child's condition has stabilized, according to an interview published by WBUR with Terence R. Flotte, MD.
According to the latest bar exam results released today by Massachusetts Board of Bar Examiners, the UMass Dartmouth-based UMass School of Law outscored the statewide average for the second year in a row, just three years after receiving full American Bar Association accreditation.
AMHERST, Mass. – A team of astronomers including assistant professor Kate Whitaker at the University of Massachusetts Amherst reports today that they have by chance discovered faint traces of a huge galaxy never seen before, dating from the early universe. Likening the finding to photographing footprints of the mythical Yeti, the authors, led by postdoctoral fellow Christina Williams at the University of Arizona, say the scientific community once regarded such monster galaxies as folklore because there was no evidence for them, until now.
Mammograms can be painful. Biopsies are invasive. And MRIs take time. Research Assistant Professor Alexey Tonyushkin just received a three-year $441,780 grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop his magnetic particle imaging (MPI) prototype, which uses noninvasive techniques to detect nanoparticles—markers for breast cancer tumors.
What would it look like for UMass Boston to integrate community and industry leaders seamlessly into the classroom as educators, and develop community-university learning partnerships that deliver multiple benefits for students, faculty, practitioners, and the community?
Professor of Physics Maxim Olchanyi has acquired international renown for his work in cold quantum gasses, non-equilibrium quantum phenomena, and exactly solvable problems. He says when it comes to potential applications, a progress in quantum information science (QIS) can revolutionize transport logistics and drug discovery; in the defense area, quantum technology is, potentially, as pivotal as nuclear technology during the second World War.
