University of Massachusetts Amherst : Intellectual, Supportive, Transformative

University of Massachusetts Amherst - Overview

  • Introduction

    From our 1863 founding as a land-grant university known as the Massachusetts Agricultural College, the University of Massachusetts Amherst has had an unwavering commitment to social change and the creation of a better world. We have been dedicated to educating the public, generating new knowledge, and applying discoveries to the betterment of society—a mission we still stand for today. For more than 150 years, we have been at the forefront of some of the biggest shifts in our society, from supporting women's rights and our connections with the early abolitionist movement to the social unrest that took place on our campus and across the country throughout the 20th century.

    Today, we stand proudly among the top 200 programs worldwide in 29 academic disciplines and continue to garner global recognition for excellence in research, scholarship, and entrepreneurship. Activism and advocacy are alive and well on the UMass campus. We continue to celebrate our deep roots in social change through our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion for all students. From our approach to academics to the student organizations that thrive on our campus, the UMass community of students, faculty, and staff continues to change the world at every turn.

    UMass Amherst, located in Amherst, Massachusetts, sits on nearly 1,450 acres in the scenic Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts, 90 miles from Boston and 175 miles from New York City. The campus provides a rich cultural environment in a rural setting close to major urban centers.
