THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS DARTMOUTH
Director of Admissions
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth seeks applications and nominations for the position of Director of Admissions. Located on the Massachusetts south coast and only a short drive from Cape Cod, Providence and Boston, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth main campus was designed by the eminent architect Paul Rudolf and is located on 710 acres in North Dartmouth. Other university sites include the School for Marine Science and Technology on the waterfront in New Bedford, the Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Center in Fall River and the Star Store Center for the Arts in New Bedford.
UMass Dartmouth has been ranked among the top northern public universities by U.S. News and World Report. It offers a broad range of baccalaureate and graduate degrees vital to the economic, social and cultural well-being of the region. It has an enrollment of over 9,000 students in over 40 undergraduate and 30 graduate programs (including 7 at the Ph.D. level) offered by the College of Arts and Sciences, the Charlton College of Business, the School of Education, Public Policy and Civic Engagement, the College of Engineering, the College of Nursing, the College of Visual and Performing Arts and the School for Marine Science and Technology. Sixty-five percent of the University’s 7900 undergraduate students live on campus, and 85% of the first year class lives on campus. UMass Dartmouth is a unionized environment.
While retaining its commitment to excellence in undergraduate education, UMass Dartmouth has dramatically increased its research and outreach activities during the past ten years. Revenues from external grants and contracts have tripled to over $20 million in the last ten years, and the University has established centers in Policy Studies, Portuguese Studies & Culture, Marketing Research, University, School and Community Partnerships, the James J. Kaput Center for Research and Innovation in Mathematics Education, the National Botulinum Research Center, the Massachusetts Marine Fisheries Institute, and many others to significantly expand its research and public service activities in ways that meet regional needs, but have global impact.
In 2008 the University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees approved the creation of a new School of Education, Public Policy and Civic Engagement at UMass Dartmouth. This exciting new school brings together teaching, research and community outreach assets from across the campus to focus on challenges facing our region and Commonwealth.
