About UMass Global

For over 65 years, UMass Global (formerly Brandman University) has been focused on helping non-traditional learners change their lives through education. From our origins with the Marine Corps to today’s fully online environment, here’s our story and much more.

University of Massachusetts Global (UMass Global) traces its roots to 1958, when Chapman College professors first delivered on-base classes to members of the military serving at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro in Orange County, California. Over the following decades, service members and civilian students alike benefited from the availability of classes provided at several additional locations in California and elsewhere.
