INTO University Partnerships, a leading global higher education company, has announced a new partnership with the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst), one of the top 70 national universities in the United States. 

The partnership will support international student recruitment for 17 UMass master’s degrees in highly sought-after fields such as business, science, and engineering. The majority of programs are STEM-designated.  

Leveraging its extensive recruitment network worldwide, INTO will work closely with UMass to further build the university’s profile in key student mobility markets and expand its global reach.

INTO will begin recruiting students to these select UMass Amherst programs from October 2022. 

“We are proud to partner with the University of Massachusetts Amherst, an elite institution known globally for its commitment to academic excellence and pursuit of progress. With INTO’s unparalleled reach and market knowledge, we look forward to helping some of the best talent in every corner of the world join the world-class UMass community,” said Olivia Streatfeild, CEO of INTO.

Located in Amherst, Massachusetts, less than two hours from Boston, UMass Amherst is the No. 67 national university and the No. 26 public university in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report 2023. With 1,400 faculty members, the university is globally recognized for its programs across in-demand sectors such as engineering and business, dozens of which rank among the top 200 worldwide.

“This new partnership with INTO represents an important new step in our strategy to grow the number and diversity of international graduate students”, said Kalpen Trivedi, Vice Provost for Global Affairs at UMass Amherst.  “INTO’s global reach will ensure broad visibility for our world class programs.”

By focusing on research, diversity and revolutionary thinking — what the university refers to as the UMass Edge — exceptional students from across the globe graduate from UMass Amherst with the industry knowledge and technical skills they need to launch rewarding careers. 

“This partnership will build on the university’s reputation for world-class academics and innovative research, ensuring more students benefit from the educational and professional opportunities available at UMass,” said Ms. Streatfeild.
