We’re proud to celebrate a major milestone for the Exercise Science program at University of Massachusetts Lowell. It is now accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation for the Exercise Sciences (CoAES).

This achievement reflects the dedication of our faculty, staff, adminsitration, students, alumni, and stakeholders who continue to prepare future leaders in health, fitness, and clinical exercise science.

Importantly, this accreditation ensures that UMass Lowell graduates remain eligible to sit for ACSM certification exams beyond 2027 — helping provide a direct pathway to nationally recognized professional credentials.

Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this accomplishment and to the continued excellence of the program!

The third-year DPT students are back on campus after completing their final clinical experience—which means hacky sack is officially back in action!

While they’re enjoying being together again, they’re also hard at work preparing for the board exam. We were fortunate to welcome back several alumni who shared valuable tips for the exam and insights on transitioning into professional practice.

A big thank you to Dr. Amanda Myers (CLOF 2021), Dr. Emma George, Dr. Stephanie Esker, and Dr. Ryan Mahoney (CLOF 2022), and Dr. Charlie Savard (CLOF 2023) for taking the time to support and inspire our students!
