About The Institute

Navitas at UMass Dartmouth offers an alternative pathway to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth for international students who may not qualify for direct entry and who seek a supportive study environment. UPP is equivalent to the first year of a UMass Dartmouth bachelor’s degree program, and when you successfully complete this stage, you can move directly into the second year of your undergraduate degree. We also provide a Pre-Master’s Program which prepares you for your master’s degree program in Business or Engineering.
