"Obtaining my Masters Degree in Health Services Administration at UMass Lowell has given me the tools to succeed. Excellent learning is achieved by the merging of real life experiences and theory that text and professors provide. This program afforded me the flexibility to attend school while working full-time and caring for my family. The professors are committed to help every student achieve a true work/life balance. I walked away not only with a degree but also with a wealth of knowledge that I have been able to apply in my professional career."

"The Health Management and Policy Program opens doors for people who want to be leaders in health research and development, in addition to health care management. In our seminars, academic theories were always applied to real life situations, using real time case studies and group discussions. During my study years, I had physicians, nurses, therapists, managers and analysts as my classmates, and we shared our workplace challenges and strategies during class discussions. I believe the management and technical skills and health care knowledge I aquired helped me to handle my job in a more efficient and effective manner."

"The education and training I recieved in the Heralth Management & Policy program at UMass-Lowell was nothing short of top-notch. Even though my career path has taken me into working for a major health care information technology vendor, the education that I recieved has been completely transferrable and applicable to this field. In fact, knowing the problems and challenges that my customers face and having been trained in how to manage them grants me a significant advantage. I would strongly recommend anyone who has an interest in any facet of health care administration to consider UMass-Lowell."
