Like many colleges and universities, Massachusetts Agricultural College (as it was called) the Amherst campus was founded as a land-grant college in 1863, receiving initial start-up funding as part of the Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act. It is part of the Five College consortium in the Pioneer Valley region. It became Massachusetts State College in 1937, and University of Massachusetts in 1947. The library system is the largest state-supported library system in all of New England with over 5.8 million items. UMass is also known for its NCAA division I sports teams.

Located on the Columbia Point Peninsula, the University is entirely surrounded by the Boston Harbor and Atlantic Ocean. Adjacent to the campus is the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and the Massachusetts State Archives. The Boston Globe is also headquartered adjacent to campus. Subsequently, the university holds many partnerships with these adjacent organizations, which provide for great research and employment opportunities. Due to its urban mission, the campus does not have university housing, but does coordinate with many proprietors to offer affordable off-campus housing for its students. UMass Boston has an enrollment of over 13,000 undergraduate and graduate students, making it the second largest UMass campus. UMass Boston boasts larger graduation and retention rates than any of the other campuses.

Bulger became involved in court testimony about his notorious brother, Whitey Bulger. He was forced to resign after a sustained campaign for his ouster by former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
