Applying to UMass SMS

Every student should maintain the highest goals and ideals when selecting and applying for a graduate degree. The UMass School of Marine Sciences offers a high quality education with the affordability of a public university. In addition, the diversity of resources offered by five campuses make UMass SMS an excellent choice.

Please note that it is imperative that prospective students take an active role in contacting faculty member(s) who could potentially advise them, as well as making an effort to seek funding before applying to SMS. You must have an advisor to attend SMS. We have a limited number of TA positions, so to be considered you must submit your applications before the deadline.

Please contact the dean's office with any questions.
See the links to the right for details of the application and admission process.

We look forward to hearing from you!
