Campus Life

At the Isenberg School of Management, we are committed to fostering a connected, global, and welcome environment for our students, faculty, and staff. We promote the exchange of varying perspectives and the value of different experiences, which prepares our students to lead in an increasingly global market.

Programs like:

• The Inclusive Leadership Summit is the nexus of our efforts. The ILS brings industry partners, alumni, students, faculty, staff, and community leaders together to share best practices, industry trends, and concerns related to global citizenship in business.
• Student groups such as Women in Business, the Association for Diversity in Business and the Association of Diversity in Sport, just to name a few.
• Pathways in Education that works with first-year students in the Business Exploratory Track as they work towards gaining direct admission to the Isenberg BBA program.

The University offers opportunities for first-year accepted Isenberg students to both learn and live together, helping them form a strong, supportive community from day one at UMass Amherst.

The following living option is available:

• Isenberg Fellows Residential Academic Program (Fellows RAP)

Other options available to qualifying first-year students include the University Residential Academic Programs and the Commonwealth Honors College Residential Academic Program.

UMass Amherst offers first-year accepted Isenberg students the opportunity to begin their college journey abroad through the Global Launch in Dublin Program. Building global business perspectives while forming close connections with fellow Isenberg classmates, students will study together in Dublin, Ireland, taking a hybrid of University College Dublin and UMass courses during the fall semester. Students will transition to UMass Amherst in the spring semester as part of a strong, supportive community of future business leaders.
