The UMass Lowell Navitas GSSP classesare a lot smaller than the usual classesand I benefited from that. The professorwas able to focus more on each studentand understand our English limitations.Studying in the Navitas GSSP class mademe feel more comfortable compared tostudying in a class full of non-NavitasGSSP students (which I had experiencedin my first semester) because there wasno pressure of knowing that I wasprobably the only person who can’tinteract that well in English.MONIKA IRENE, IndonesiaUndergraduate UMass Lowell Navitas GSSP:Biological SciencesI wanted a more extensive degreeprogram that would cover the specificfields I wanted to master. One particularcourse I was really looking into wasCancer Biology, which was one of theelective courses offered here at UMassLowell.
