Our Impact

UMass Early College provides high-quality courses and programming to students in many communities throughout Massachusetts. At UMass, we prioritize access to opportunity for students who have been historically underserved by post-secondary education, breaking barriers by giving students insight into the academic rigor of college at no cost to them or their families. UMass Early College gives students a jump start on college success no matter what path they take after High School. 

"Within the next 5 years we plan to expand our early college initiative to serve more than 2000 high school students."
