John Kilgo '19
Computer Science
John Kilgo VI began working at MITRE Corporation more than three years ago as an intern, when he was a UMass Lowell undergraduate. Now, he’s employed there full time as a software systems engineer, while enrolled part time in the master’s program in computer science.
The flexibility of the program allows the courses to sync up with what I’m doing at work.
Michael Doane '19
Chemical Engineering, Biology
Honors student Michael Doane has won several prestigious fellowships and scholarships for his cancer-related and biofuel research. He says UMass Lowell does a great job of structuring both classes and learning experiences that build on one another.
There are so many different programs and entities that all build on each other and combine to give you anything you’re willing to get out of your undergraduate experience.
Payal Patel '21
Biology, UTeach
When Payal Patel started college as an engineering major, she missed tutoring and teaching – so she decided to make education her career.
At UMass Lowell, you have that flexibility to change your career path.
Linh Nguyen
Computer Science & Mathematics
Linh Nguyen developed a cloud-based market data tool — and a newfound interest in financial technology — through her data science experience with the Nasdaq Futures Internship Program.
One of the things I like about computer science is that I can leverage all those little pieces and put them together to make a product that I want.
