Academic Advising

The Department of Public Health provides a variety of advising and academic resources for its students. Both our staff advisors and peer advisors are here to help address your academic questions and concerns so that you can make the most of your UMass Amherst education.

We also provide a variety of helpful information sessions, and our website maintains many of the academic forms you will need to fulfill your degree requirements. We even have a listing of useful links to help you inform you about the field of public health.
