The College of Fine Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (FAHSS) at UMass Lowell is committed to ensuring that all undergraduate students engage in meaningful, career-connected learning experiences as part of their academic journey. In alignment with the Chancellor’s guarantee that all UMass Lowell undergraduates will have the opportunity to participate in a career-connected experience, FAHSS recognizes both the value of professional development and the responsibility to help prepare students for their post-graduation lives. Many departments and programs already offer or require activities that support career readiness—such as internships, research, community engagement, and skills-based coursework. This requirement builds on that strong foundation to promote greater consistency and equitable access across all programs.

To fulfill this requirement, students may choose from a variety of approved options, including, FAHS.4800: FAHSS Internship Experience.
