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 admission—our nursing program does not accept transfers within UMass Lowell and other institutions.
Program Updates
- There is a new major in Computer Science: B.S. in Applied Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.
- The B.S. in Nutritional Science, General Option has been renamed to the B.S. in Nutritional Science, Precision Nutrition Option.
- There is a new minor in the Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department: Atmospheric Science.
