UMass Global is a private, nonprofit institution accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). As part of the University of Massachusetts System, UMass Global blends a legacy of academic excellence with innovative curriculum and strong support services designed for students with busy schedules.
UMass Global has been assisting working-adults since 1958. Our experience and student-centric point of view led our university to design our programs backward. We work directly with employers, like Esri, to ensure we create workforce-relevant programs to upskill students. At UMass Global, students can take what they learn in class tonight and apply it at work tomorrow.
As an official Esri Partner & Marketplace Provider, UMass Global offers a wide array of programs for people in every season of their careers. The University offers learning pathways, ranging from nine-month certificate programs to complete undergraduate and graduate degree programs, 100% online to better meet our students' needs. UMass Global has worked closely with ESRI and select ESRI users to design learning pathways that address the GIS & DA skills shortage. These learning pathways teach how to use ESRI tools such as Insights for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Business Analyst, ArcGIS Community Analyst, ArcGIS Hub, ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, Survey123 for ArcGIS, GeoForms and Story Maps to solve real business, governmental, and social problems. The cost of these academic programs or pathways is typically covered by educational assistance programs and/or federal grants and/or student loans under TITLE IV.
