As a comprehensive office of international education, the Office of Global Affairs (OGA) serves as the nexus of international connection and collaboration for the UMass Amherst campus. From welcoming and supporting incoming international students, to preparing students for global education opportunities, and fostering opportunities for inter-institutional and research, OGA is privileged to work with so many different constituencies.

Welcome to Global Education at UMass Amherst. We look forward to working with you:
