About

Connecting the state’s flagship public research university to the Greater Boston business community.

The Mount Ida Campus of UMass Amherst serves as a center for student experiential learning, industry engagement, academic and research collaboration, and fundraising in Greater Boston, which is home to a plurality of UMass Amherst students and alumni. Acquired from the former Mount Ida College in 2018, the campus exists to connect the state’s flagship public research university to the Greater Boston business community and serves as a secondary instructional site for UMass Amherst, offering an undergraduate program in Veterinary Technology, graduate programs in Statistics and Business and Analytics, as well as graduate courses in Geographic Information Science and Technology.

By enhancing opportunities for our students to grow professionally while contributing to our state’s vibrant economy, UMass Amherst, the commonwealth’s only public land-grant university and its flagship campus, is building on its long history of service to the state, while fostering upward economic mobility for the citizens of Massachusetts and the world.

The campus is located at 100 Carlson Avenue in Newton, Mass., within the N-Squared Innovation District, eight miles from downtown Boston.
