Sticker price: $12,540
Net price (after aid): $32,654

Most students pay the net price after financial aid, not the sticker price.

Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)

For families earning $0 – $30k, $30k – $48k, $48k – $75k, $75k – $110k, $110k+, the average net price here is above the $25,500 a first-year dependent student and their parents can borrow federally from 1 July 2026, by up to $9,825. That part has to come from savings, income, work, or private loans.

The ceiling is $5,500 in the student’s own Direct Loan plus up to $20,000 in Parent PLUS, which requires that the parent has no adverse credit history. Net prices are averages for a prior cohort of aid recipients, not a quote. Source: Federal Student Aid loan limits. Where this gap is largest.

FAFSA earnings check

: Not flagged

University of Massachusetts Global does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $78,923, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally. The Department uses the national figure for a college that mostly enrolls out-of-state students or operates in several states.

This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics

Studying online: most students study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 9,050 of University of Massachusetts Global's 9,069 students (100%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 19 (0%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

What type of institution is University of Massachusetts Global?
University of Massachusetts Global is a public university based in CA. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
Is University of Massachusetts Global open admission?
Yes. University of Massachusetts Global reports an open admission policy to the federal IPEDS survey (IPEDS, admission policy reported in the 2024-25 IC collection), which IPEDS defines as accepting any student who applies. Individual programs, often nursing and other health programs, can still set their own entry requirements, so check the program you want with the college.
What is the tuition at University of Massachusetts Global?
University of Massachusetts Global's published in-state tuition is approximately $12,540 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
How many students attend University of Massachusetts Global?
University of Massachusetts Global reports total enrollment of approximately 8,996 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
How much does University of Massachusetts Global actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at University of Massachusetts Global is approximately $32,654 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $31,963 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $35,325. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
What is the graduation rate at University of Massachusetts Global?
University of Massachusetts Global reports a graduation rate of approximately 43% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much student debt do graduates of University of Massachusetts Global have?
Students who borrowed at University of Massachusetts Global left with a median of approximately $24,276 in federal loans, and about 23% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
How much do graduates of University of Massachusetts Global earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $65,703 for students who received federal financial aid at University of Massachusetts Global. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
How should I verify final details about University of Massachusetts Global?
CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with University of Massachusetts Global.
How much do Business Administration graduates from University of Massachusetts Global earn?
University of Massachusetts Global's bachelor's graduates in Business Administration earned a median $83,778 four years after graduating, 23% above the $68,257 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $61,268; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $33,125 in federal loans at this college (about $351 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $37,207 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).
How much do Teacher Education (by grade level) graduates from University of Massachusetts Global earn?
University of Massachusetts Global's master's graduates in Teacher Education (by grade level) earned a median $84,909 four years after graduating, 42% above the $59,916 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $67,644; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth.
Which programs at University of Massachusetts Global have the highest graduate earnings?
Among the 13 programs at University of Massachusetts Global with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Educational Administration, doctoral ($152,157); Educational Administration, master's ($118,581); and Business Administration, master's ($92,027) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
Does University of Massachusetts Global get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, University of Massachusetts Global's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $78,923, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
