The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is a public research university in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, about 60 miles south of Boston, on a 710-acre suburban campus, with additional sites in New Bedford and Fall River. It traces its roots to 1895, when the Massachusetts legislature chartered the New Bedford Textile School and the Bradford Durfee Textile School in Fall River. The two merged in 1962 as the Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute, which became Southeastern Massachusetts University by 1969 and joined the UMass system in 1991. It is the southernmost UMass campus, is accredited by NECHE and is classified R2. About 7,968 students were enrolled in fall 2024, including roughly 5,731 undergraduates. It has nine colleges, including law, engineering, arts and sciences and an honors college. Its Brutalist buildings were designed by Paul Rudolph, and its Corsairs compete in NCAA Division III.
