Give Now - Arthur and Beverley Mabbett Family Endowed Fund in Support of Faculty Development in the Environmental Sciences
The Arthur and Beverley Mabbett Family Endowed Fund in Support of Faculty Development in the Environmental Sciences encourages the broadening of knowledge in the environmental sciences by funding faculty initiatives in the field.
Give Now - Biobehavioral Studies Program
The Biobehavioral Studies Program provides students with a broad understanding of the various approaches to the naturalistic study of the behavior of all animals, including humans.
Give Now - Biochemistry Program
Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes in living organisms. It deals with the structures and functions of cellular components such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. The Biochemistry Program offers opportunities to study the chemical processes in living organisms. It deals with the structures and functions of cellular components such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules.
Give Now - Biology Department
The mission of the Department of Biology is to provide high-quality education in biological sciences to our students, to advance the body of scientific knowledge through scholarly research, and to provide technical and educational expertise locally, nationally, and internationally.
Give Now - Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy (CPCT)
The Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy (CPCT) is improving tumor diagnostics in a way that will lead directly to more effective therapeutic regimens. The most significant outcome anticipated will benefit cancer patients and their families, because the proposed approach will help to flatten health disparities pertinent to cancer treatment. The CPCT will work to develop affordable clinical tests that can be performed in community hospital settings. The CPCT informatics (highly sophisticated relational databases) also help community physicians choose optimized therapy, thus enabling the broadest possible population of patients to benefit from cutting-edge cancer research.
Give Now - Chemistry Department
The Chemistry Department at UMass Boston offers the bachelor of arts, bachelor of science, and master of science degrees, in addition to a combined BS/MS degree, a minor in chemistry, and a joint major in biochemistry (coadministered with the Biology Department). A specialty of our department is the field of green chemistry, and we are proud to be the first school in the country to offer a doctoral degree in that discipline (via the PhD in chemistry/green chemistry track).
Give Now - College of Science and Mathematics General Support
Your gift supports programs throughout the College of Science and Mathematics.
Give Now - Computer Science Department
The Computer Science Department offers excellence in research, teaching, and technical skills. Our accredited bachelor's programs offer a wide variety of courses, such as database-backed web development and artificial intelligence. Our master's program prepares students for a career in the computer industry; it includes a year-long capstone project in which each student develops a large-scale software application for an outside client.
Give Now - Engineering Program
The Engineering Program offers instruction in electrical, mechanical, civil, and industrial engineering.
Give Now - Environmental Studies Program (ESP)
The undergraduate Environmental Studies Program (ESP) at UMass Boston is an interdisciplinary program of study that helps students understand the underlying causes of environmental problems and encourages a search for solutions. In recognition of the complexity of environmental issues, the program is broadly based in the humanities, the social sciences, and the sciences.
Give Now - Mathematics Department
The Department of Mathematics supports mathematics majors with high-quality programs; offers high-quality courses to majors in the sciences and to others who need mathematics in their field of study and research; educates students whose primary interest is not in a field requiring high-level mathematics by offering quantitative reasoning and general education courses; and works on the frontiers of mathematical research in fields of interest to our faculty.
Give Now - Physics Department
Physics seeks to understand the physical world by formulating general concepts and principles that organize and interrelate a vast range of seemingly unconnected natural phenomena. Energy and space-time exemplify such concepts, while the laws of thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and electromagnetism exemplify principles of tremendous explanatory power. The Physics Department, through its programs of experimental and theoretical research, enlarges the understanding of various phenomena in quantum electronics, laser optics, photonics, condensed matter, semiconductor materials and devices, magnetic resonance, low-temperature physics, nuclear and inner-atomic spectroscopy, elementary particles, biophysics, medical imaging, and energy conservation.
Give Now - Richard F. Leahy '70 Endowed Science Faculty Development Fund in Honor of D. Drandon and Alice Leahy
The Richard F. Leahy '70 Endowed Science Faculty Development Fund in Honor of D. Drandon and Alice Leahy encourages faculty and students to work together on scientific research projects over a broad front.
Give Now - School for the Environment (SFE)
The School for the Environment (SFE) integrates the natural and social sciences to generate and apply new knowledge about the quality of our environment and the sustainable use of its resources. It focuses on promoting integrated science, planning, policy, and education for understanding earth-system processes and managing the impacts of urbanization on linked watershed and coastal marine systems.
Give Now - Student Success Center at the College of Science and Mathematics
The College of Science and Mathematics Student Success Center promotes access to excellence in the academic home of CSM students. It offers comprehensive services for students in every phase of their academic career: academic counseling, professional development opportunities, and referral to additional student resources at UMass Boston.
