When it comes to value, we’re kind of a big deal (no pun intended).

Get Started

As the #1 public university in Massachusetts, UMass Lowell is known for our focus on student success and outcomes. In fact, 98% of our graduates are employed or continuing their education. They’re also out there earning some of the highest starting salaries in New England. 
That’s all extremely important for your future. But what about while you’re a student? Obviously, tuition covers the courses you take, but it also gets you tons of perks and discounts on top of that. Some “freebies” and discounts require a valid UML student ID.
