The MBA program at UMass Lowell prepares students to effectively lead organizations in rapidly changing and diverse regional, national and global business environments, and fosters connections with alumni who lead Fortune 500 and innovative start-up companies – as well as everything in between.
Several different options allow students to tailor the MBA program to their career needs, and the program’s flexibility allows students to attend full- or part-time, with online options.
Our MBA graduates benefit not only from the degree itself, but also from the name of the degree-granting institution – the well-established, AACSB accredited, and highly ranked University of Massachusetts Lowell.
