UMass Dartmouth!

We just had an exciting visit from UMass Dartmouth and the news is wonderful for first generation and or low-income students. There are two alternative admissions programs students should be aware of. College Now and START are programs that operate outside of the Admissions department. If your grades are less than stellar or you just didn't think college was for you until very recently these programs could be an alternative route to a four year college degree. College Now applicants must either be of low-income status or be the first generation to attend college (which technically means your parents did not attend a four year institution, if you have siblings in college you are still considered first generation). START (Steps Toward Abstract Reasoning & Thinking) is for a similar population with a specific academic interest in engineering, mathematics, or physics majors. If you are interested in UMass Dartmouth and meet either of these requirements please visit http://www.umassd.edu/collegenow  or call 508.999.8703 for more information. To be clear, you do not apply through the UMass Dartmouth admissions office; this is a separate office and applicant pool.
