Admissions

Undergraduate applicants to our online degree completion programs bring passion, motivation and energy. They are strong leaders who are readying for a career solving today’s biggest problems and planning tomorrow’s best innovations. We keep an open mind when reviewing applications because we know life isn’t formula-driven. We not only want to make sure that you’re the right fit for our programs, but that we’re the right fit for you.

Is Isenberg a good fit for you?

A successful student is motivated, has good time management skills and works well independently, as well as in groups. Our advisors will evaluate your unofficial transcripts to help you decide if Isenberg is the right fit for you. The evaluation will give you a good idea of which courses will most likely transfer and what requirements you still need to fulfill. The preliminary transcript review does not guarantee admission but is a good indication of your standing.

To request a preliminary transcript review, indicate what major you are interested in, scan and email your unofficial transcript(s) and a very brief description of your work experience, including military experience, to: ugradonline@isenberg.umass.edu. Applicants submitting international college transcripts are also required to provide a transcript evaluation from an approved professional organization. For more information, click here.
