The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (UMass Dartmouth, UMassD, or "UMD") is one of five campuses and operating subdivisions of the University of Massachusetts (UMass).〔(UMass website: Campuses )〕 It is located in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, United States, in the center of the South Coast region, between the cities of New Bedford to the east and Fall River to the west. It became a UMass campus in 1991 when Southeastern Massachusetts University was merged into the University of Massachusetts system.〔(UMassD website ), history.〕 In 2011, UMass Dartmouth became the first university in the world to have a sustainability report that met the top level of the world's most comprehensive, credible, and widely-used standard (the GRI's G3.1 standard). In 2013, UMass Dartmouth became the first university in the world whose annual sustainability report achieved an A+ application level according to the GRI G3.1 standard (by having the sources of data used in its annual sustainability report verified by an independent third party). The campus has an overall student body of 9,155 students, including undergraduate, graduate students, and continuing education students. In Spring 2008, there were approximately 4,173 students living on campus. Approximately 61 undergraduate programs of study and 32 graduate programs are offered. There are more than 300 full-time faculty. The school also hosts the University of Massachusetts School of Law, as the trustees of the state's university system voted during 2004 to purchase the nearby Southern New England School of Law, a private institution that is accredited regionally but not by the American Bar Association. This proposal was rejected at the time and lay dormant for several years, but was revived in October 2009 with an offer by SNESL to donate its campus and resources, valued at over $20 million, to the university. The proposal was approved unanimously by the state Board of Higher Education on February 2, 2010. UMass School of Law at Dartmouth opened its doors in September 2010, accepting all current SNESL students with a C or better average as transfer students, and achieved (provisional) ABA accreditation in June 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UMass Law wins ABA accreditation after eight-year battle for respect )〕 ==Rankings and recognition== 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.umassd.edu/features/distinction/ )〕 * Ranked as one of the top New England public regional universities by U.S. News & World Report * Online bachelor's programs listed as #1 in Massachusetts, #2 in New England, and #55 nationwide, by U.S. News & World Report * Ranked #2 out of 86 public universities in Massachusetts, according to GoLocal * Listed #4 of 50 U.S. Colleges Where Art Programs Abound by College Database * Ranked #6 out of 50 most affordable public schools for in-state students, by Affordable Colleges. * Recognized for affordability of online programs: #7 of 33 Massachusetts schools * Ranked in the top 3% on the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll: one of 16 finalists for community service, with distinction in economic development and interfaith initiatives * UMassD alumni are ranked in the top 17% of colleges and universities for average salary by PayScale * Among the top twenty Massachusetts schools for return on investment, according to Affordable Colleges Online * Ranked #17 out of 50 most affordable public schools for out-of-state students, according to AffordableColleges * Ranked #25 out of 684 U.S. master's universities, in Washington Monthly's ranking of universities "acting on behalf of the true public interest" * The UMass system ranks #42 among the world's top universities, according to The Times of London's worldwide rankings * UMassD ranks in the top 15 schools nationwide for master's degrees in physics among institutions granting the MS—and is the only such school in the Northeast—as noted by the American Physical Society * Animation Career Review ranks CVPA's digital media programs in the top twenty on the East Coast * Ranked #45 of the top 100 grad schools for nurses by Scrubs Magazine's Guide to Nursing Schools * Ranked #47 of 194 schools in the U.S. for "best in undergraduate engineering" by U.S. News & World Report. * Recognized for "Best Online Programs," #69 out of nearly 1,000 programs surveyed by U.S. News & World Report * Listed among the "Best Graduate Schools" in the U.S., #98 of 1,000, by U.S. News & World Report 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Massachusetts Dartmouth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
