A Vision of Revolutionary Flexibility
UMass Amherst is dedicated to providing students with a dynamic learning environment that adapts to their evolving needs. The UMass Flex initiative is a multi-year plan designed to empower students to transition seamlessly between various modes of learning.
We are committed to ensuring that every student has the freedom to tailor their academic experience for maximum personal and professional growth.
What is UMass Flex?
UMass Flex encompasses anything that extends beyond the traditional on-campus student experience. As a UMass Amherst student, you can enroll in UMass Flex programs and courses that expand the traditional full-time, on-campus experience by offering alternative learning modes and locations. UMass Flex options include online learning and locations such as Greater Boston and UMass Abroad. These student-centered, inclusive, and accessible options are designed to meet the diverse needs of students at various stages of their academic journey. Flex options vary based on the degree program and a student’s progress in their academic journey.
