About This School

University of Massachusetts Global is a public institution located in Aliso Viejo, California with approximately 4,491 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $32,654 per year. The graduation rate is 43%.

University of Massachusetts Global, is a private online university headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California. The university offers more than 55 degree, certificate, credential, and professional programs for working adults. Brandman was a separate, regionally-accredited university within the Chapman University system. In September 2021, Brandman separated from the Chapman University system, and formed a new affiliation with the University of Massachusetts, UMass Global. UMass Global is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission.

The numbers here raise serious concerns — a 42% freshman retention rate signals that more than half of first-year students leave before their second year, and a reported 0% graduation rate is a red flag that demands a direct explanation from the school before you commit. At $31,601 per year after aid, you'd be taking on real costs (median debt of $18,750) for an uncertain outcome. This might make sense for a highly specific, non-traditional student whose situation fits UMass Global's adult-learner model, but traditional students should look hard at those retention figures first.
