UMass Lowell offers online graduate study through its Graduate, Online & Professional Studies division and academic schools. Compare program-specific foundations, course prefixes and the current term’s fee schedule so that a flexible format does not hide extra preparation or costs.
Identify the program and academic context
University of Massachusetts Lowell is the provider of the programs listed on this page. It is distinct from other institutions using the University of Massachusetts name. Use the full institutional name, exact credential and official application route when you research a degree. A business analytics master’s and an MBA option in analytics are different academic choices and should not be combined.
The researched routes include business analytics, information technology, an MBA, finance and criminal justice. Their entry requirements and required work differ. Read the core, the available electives and the expected culminating work. Choose the subject by the capability you want to develop rather than assuming all online programs at one university share a curriculum or professional purpose.
Get the foundation requirements assessed
Some routes specify preparation beyond a bachelor’s degree. Business analytics identifies statistics and information-systems foundations. Finance specifies accounting and finance preparation for applicants who need it. The MBA may require additional foundation courses, and the IT route expects particular mathematical and programming preparation or accepted equivalent experience.
Keep that preparation in the plan until the university confirms what your records satisfy. A course that is necessary before graduate study may not count toward the master’s credits. Compare the full route you would take, including preparation, rather than treating a 30-credit headline as the same academic or financial commitment for every applicant.
Check the online experience and calendar
Official pages identify online degree routes and provide course and application information. Ask about required live sessions, exams, group projects and any campus or local activity for the exact courses you would take. An online option and a hybrid option can coexist on the same page; select the one that fits your location rather than combining their conditions.
Ask for a feasible part-time or full-time sequence and check how often required courses are offered. Include time for foundations, substantial projects and revision. A short advertised completion route may assume preparation or a pace that is not realistic for you. Your working schedule should accommodate the required participation, not only access to recorded lectures.
Build a term-specific cost comparison
The current tuition page identifies Spring 2027 rates and distinguishes general online graduate courses from business, engineering and other categories. Course prefixes affect which rate applies. The page also lists a term registration fee and application charges. A single per-credit rate should not be applied to every course or degree without checking the actual plan.
Calculate tuition using the required graduate and preparatory work, then add mandatory fees under a stated term schedule and any confirmed software or materials. The university states that online tuition in this division has no residency differential, but that does not remove all other costs. Its institutional accreditation is through the New England Commission of Higher Education; Manning’s graduate business scope has a separate AACSB statement. Check each claim at the level that applies, and keep admission, professional eligibility and employment outcomes separate.
