It is the Massachusetts partner in the national Cooperative Extension System and addresses public concerns of high priority for the Commonwealth. Extension provides educational opportunities, resources, training and applied research in agricultural and commercial horticulture areas as well as in food science, environmental, water and energy topics. UMass Extension provides nutrition education to low-income families and individuals and is also home to 4-H youth development in the state.
The fall semester is underway as UMass Amherst continues to respond to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with a limited number of students living on campus and the majority of classes taking place remotely. For more information about Fall 2020 both on and off campus, go to umass.edu/reopening.
