Advising

Faculty in the health and society major are committed to one-on-one advising to assist you in identifying your academic and career goals. See our Faculty to view current Health and Society Program advisors.

Successful academic advising happens when students and faculty advisors work together as a team. Your academic advisor has expertise in scholarly issues; the College of Arts and Sciences Student Services office can help you to identify many other resources you may need, including free professional advising and support concerning student health, legal matters, writing and learning skills, general career planning, lifestyle/residential issues, academic accommodations and more.
