Turning dreams into degrees.

UMass Dartmouth’s College Now program strengthens our students’ academic skillsets and turns doubt into confidence. As an alternative admissions program, College Now offers academic counseling, individualized instruction, and more attention to students who once thought a college degree was unattainable. Students in College Now form a tight-knit community on campus, working together on classwork and goal-setting, creating a supportive environment where they can thrive and pursue their dreams of becoming college graduates.
