The UMass Boston Undergraduate International Student Success Program (ISSP) offers an alternative pathway to the University of Massachusetts Boston for international students who may not qualify for direct entry and who seek a supportive study environment. The Undergraduate ISSP is offered in a two or three semester format, which is equivalent to the first year of a UMass Boston bachelor's degree program. After successfully completing the Undergraduate ISSP, you will move directly into the second year of your undergraduate degree.
UMass Boston is ranked among the top 20 universities in Massachusetts and is a major provider of academic programs in the areas of Business, Liberal Arts, and Science and Mathematics.
