Welcome to the Division of Athletics, Recreation, Special Programs and Projects.  Internally, we provide services that are designed to enhance the student experience at UMass Boston while externally, we work to improve and enhance the University’s engagement with our local communities. 

Department of Athletics

Through our Department of Athletics we offer intercollegiate athletics sponsoring 14 varsity teams, seven for men and seven for women; in addition we offer intramurals and recreation for the students, staff and faculty at UMass Boston.  This spring we will reinstitute men’s and women’s track to bring the total number of varsity teams to 16.
