University of Massachusetts Amherst

Fall 2005 Application Deadline

Each year, UMass Amherst seeks a new class of students who will bring their unique strengths to this campus community—inspiration, talent, smarts, experience, maturity, individuality. Collectively, these students create something entirely new, and with their success, they contribute to the campus, to each other, and to their own individual development.
