Helping You Help Your Students

  • Our newly updated program pages are the best way for students to explore the majors they're interested in (including a new page for a Pre-Law pathway).
  • Have students who want to learn what they can do with a UML degree? Check out where our most recent grads have landed!
  • Encourage your students to join our ZeeMee community. By downloading the app, they can connect with current students and staff at UMass Lowell, learn more about the university and meet other students interested in UML.
  • If the essay prompts on the Common App don't click with your students, we offer a few additional essay prompts for them to choose from. These prompts allow us to see your students beyond their grades. We're proud to give them the opportunity to share more of their story with us!

A Note about the New Pre-Nursing Concentration

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Public Health has a new concentration called Pre-Nursing. This concentration will prepare students for entry-level public health positions and allow them to gain prerequisites for accelerated nursing or other nursing programs (outside of UMass Lowell). or graduate studies in public health, such as a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.). Please note, the Pre-Nursing concentration in Public Health is not a pathway to the B.S. in Nursing at UMass Lowell. The only way to gain admission to the B.S. in Nursing here is through first-year student admission—our nursing program does not accept transfers within UMass Lowell and other institutions.
