8 reviews collected from current residents and alumni.- The program was flexible and met my needs I completed my post Masters FNP coarse 29 years ago, but the concepts I learned and the approach to advance practice nursing to which I was introduced have shaped my career. I hope that student focus and advancement of the profession continue to be driving forces of the program. - Alum
- Excellent preparation Excellent balance of didactic and clinical experience. Many clinical opportunities in multiple specialties. Faculty very very accessible in and out of the classroom and extremely focused and dedicated to students. Received my bachelors degree in nursing from a highly esteemed private institution, but UMass, despite being a “public“ University, was on par with the attention to students, faculty expertise and nursing resources as private institutions. Highly recommend. - Alum
- 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
