Public Health Sciences Academic Advising
PHS students are supported through collaborative advising that fosters self-directed learning and growth.
Advising Overview:
Academic advising is a collaborative process that empowers you to take ownership of your education. Our Public Health Sciences advising team will support you in developing the skills to evaluate your options, develop meaningful goals, and actively shape your academic and professional path, wherever your interests and ambitions may lead you.
Public Health Sciences students are supported by a dedicated advising team made up of professional staff and trained peer advisors. Whether you have questions about course planning, career goals, or getting the most out of your college experience, we are here to help!
