- Pediatric Program in pediatric tract was small and some classes were less pediatric specific as pnp students were incorporated into fnp classes. Pharmacology had very little pediatric focus. Pnp program subsequently closed and now there is not the option - Alum
- Great program Excellent professors, very caring, great education, great clinical, felt very well prepared for the exam and for practice after graduation. It was very manageable to do while working colleagues in the program as well. - Alum
- DNP program This program was fine in terms of online didactic courses (allowing time to continue to work), the school does not really offer assistance with preceptors, which could be difficult for students. Much of this program was focused on the capstone; my clinical learning really came from my preceptor each semester. My preceptors were amazing. The resources for exam study were helpful and UMass has a high pass rate. - Alum
- Great school and great program This program was good for me in terms of flexibility and value. The program I did was well taught and professors were really good and supportive of me as an adult learner. The only thing I could think of is the cost compared to other programs especially in the southern states , this was relatively expensive per credit hour however when you look at the value and quality of the program, you will find it balanced and valuable - Alum
- Supportive program It has been several years, but the program was very supportive and helpful. They clearly wanted the students to succeed. The classes were all taught by experienced professionals who went out of their way to support the students. There were lots of great mentors for the capstone project as well. - Alum
