Are the online programs accredited? How is the quality of online courses compared to on-campus courses?
The University of Massachusetts Lowell is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). UMass Lowell’s Division of Continuing Studies has been a major player in the field of online education for over 10 years. We pay particular attention to the quality of our online programs, which we feel helps to distinguish us better from other online education providers. Our online courses, degrees, and certificate programs feature the same rigorous curricula as the on-campus programs.
