List of Degree Programs Offered Through Continuing Studies

Certificate Programs
Our short-term undergraduate certificate programs typically consist of six to eight courses and they get you one step closer to your degree, faster than you ever imagined possible! Many of the courses taken towards these certificate programs can also be counted towards your degree. In fact, many degree program students use them as benchmarks on the way to earning their degrees.

Student Readmission
Information for Readmission - Students who have previously applied into a program at UMass Lowell and have been inactive (haven't registered for courses) for a number of semesters will need to apply for readmission before they can register for courses...  Readmission form in .pdf file format.
