UMass Flex
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 our multi-year plan that empowers 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 is anything that extends beyond the traditional, on-campus student experience. As a UMass Amherst student, you can enroll in UMass Flex programming and courses that expand the traditional full-time, on-campus UMass Amherst experience by offering alternative learning modes and locations. UMass Flex options include alternative learning modes (online) and locations (e.g. Greater Boston, UMass Abroad). UMass Flex options are student-centered, inclusive, and accessible to students at various stages of their academic journey.
