The Community Social Psychology Graduate Program at the University of Massachusetts Lowell welcomes applications from those interested in deepening their understanding of community and organizational life and developing analytical and practical skills for community and organizational change.
Those accepted will enter a 36-credit Master’s degree program with an emphasis on community systems, research evidence, problem-solving methods, social justice, and diversity. The program emphasizes hands-on applications of knowledge, especially through a two-semester Practicum of 10-12 hours per week at an approved community site.
Students study together with nationally recognized faculty, and with talented students from diverse life backgrounds. Classes are lively, informal, and small. Much of the fieldwork takes place directly in Lowell, perhaps the most culturally diverse mid-size city in the United States, located just 25 miles from Boston.
Our graduates are prepared for leadership positions in government, health and human services, and community and educational organizations in a variety of professional roles and capacities; many also proceed on toward doctoral degrees. Our track record in job placement and career success is exceptionally strong.
A limited number of graduate assistantships is available to provide tuition remission and a stipend for working directly with faculty. We also offer scholarships to qualified applicants.
