Career & Co-op Center

Value matters right now, and value is where UMass Lowell has always stood above the rest. We're not just talking about low tuition and high future earning potential. We're talking about our impressive job placement rates, our relationships with major employers, our co-op programs, our network of student services and all the ways beyond the classroom that we prepare our students to lead. Our Career & Co-op Center is one of many supports available to students that will help them graduate with the skills employers value.
