Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
Don't let anyone say that state school is the cheap, easy version of college. UMass Lowell pushes students to their fullest abilities, just like any private college.
Jessica from Bradford, MA
UML has a great reputation as a state school and the grads get good jobs! The professors are very connected to the working world and know how to direct the students towards job placement. That says it all to me!
Jonathan from Topsfield, MA
I was accepted into UMass Amherst (too big), Northeastern (too expensive) and Clark (too odd/boring). I accepted the invitation to UMass Lowell with a great scholarship. I intend on going to grad school so spending $200,000 on an undergraduate degree was just stupid. I will now be able to attend grad school and not owe a fortune in school loans.
Surprisingly Happy Student
Tuition is affordable and financial aid is generous.
Jordyn from Salem, NH
Price is excellent for the education we are getting. Labs and classrooms are modern and professors are very helpful.
Isabella from Milford, MA
A really good value for a Business Administration Baccalaureate.
Justin from Arlington, MA
UMASS Lowell is one of the top engineering schools around. And its inexpensive. I couldn't be happier with the choice I made going here. It is worth every penny.
Kyle from Marlborough, MA
I came from Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach Florida to UMass Lowell, due mainly to the significantly lower cost. But what I found was, not only is UMass Lowell cheaper, but I was getting a much better education! Embry-Riddle was 60 grand a year, UMass Lowell is around 16 Grand a year. I will get my entire degree in little over the cost of one year at a private institution!
