Transferring to UMB

Undergraduate transfers

At UMass Boston transfer students are an important part of the student population. Six of 10 new UMass Boston undergraduates have attended college elsewhere. About half of these students come from two-year colleges while the rest are from other four-year institutions. At UMB you are considered an undergraduate transfer if you have attended another college or university, regardless of the number of credits you earned. Undergraduate transfer students may apply for joint admissions and/or dual enrollment.
