It is also a Minority Serving Institution (MSI). The Francis College of Engineering includes 113 faculty members, just under 30% of whom are women, and enrolls over 2,400 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students. The College offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs in all departments, with optional co-op programs available for all bachelor’s and master’s degrees. The College has been nationally recognized for its commitment to equity and inclusion by the American Society for Engineering Education. UMass Lowell is dedicated to cultivating an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
The University of Massachusetts Lowell campus is situated on the banks of the Merrimack River, a beautiful and culturally diverse area, and the birthplace of America’s industrial revolution. Cotton mills in Lowell, the only city to be awarded national park status by the U.S. National Park Service, opened in 1814, and the city has been a hub of invention and innovation ever since. UML continues that legacy of innovation throughout the campus. Its location 30 miles northwest of Boston offers unsurpassed enrichment of every type, including fine arts, dining, historical sites, and, of course, sports! Just north of Lowell, the grandeur of New Hampshire’s White Mountains unfolds not far from the storied ski lodges of Vermont.
