    Kelly, We don't have a formal pre-architecture degree of any kind, but students have successfully gone to architecture school after completing our BFA in Graphic Design. Let us know if you have any other questions. Ed

            Hi Lawrence, thanks so much for inquiring about UMass Lowell. Unfortunately, we don't have a wrestling team, though there are lots of club and intramural sports programs. Check out the options at the UMass Lowell Recreation Center. Also, we offer both a bachelor's and master's degree in Criminal Justice; these are very well regarded programs with outstanding faculty members and access to real-world internship & co-op experiences. Just over one third of our students live in university housing and residence halls. The options for residence halls include the UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center, which serves as both a residence hall for students and university hotel. During any given weekend I'd estimate there are at least one thousand or more students on and around campus. Campus life is very active, even on weekends with concerts, comedians, athletic events, etc. Great questions-- don't hesitate to send additional questions my way.

              On a scale of 1-10(10 being the greatest), what would you rate your psychology and sociology programs?
              • 248
                Ed Seero
                Venecia, I would not arbitrarily rank our programs like that because I'm not sure what the criteria for a rank would be. Both programs are very good majors, both are five year bachelor/masters degrees, psychology is among our most popular majors, both degrees offer nice job and graduate school opportunities, and I would recommend anyone interested in those majors to check out UMass Lowell. I hope that is acceptable as an answer. If not, 10!
