About

Formerly known as Brandman University, the University of Massachusetts Global is a non-profit institution headquartered in Aliso Viejo that specializes in high-quality, flexible education tailored to adult learners, working professionals, and military personnel. The university is particularly renowned for its School of Education, which is a leading producer of credentialed teachers in California, alongside robust programs in nursing, healthcare administration, business, and psychology. Rather than offering a traditional residential campus life, the student experience is centered around dynamic online and hybrid formats supported by dedicated academic advisors. A distinctive feature of UMass Global is its competency-based "MyPath" modality, which allows self-directed students to accelerate their degree completion at a predictable, subscription-based tuition rate.

The university offers more than 55 degree, certificate, credential, and professional programs for working adults.
