Public Health 191PUBH1 - FYS - Getting on Track @SPHHS

The purpose of this course is to prepare exploratory track students to achieve academic success at UMass. The curriculum will aim to orient students to the health science fields and the major options within, assist students with major exploration outside of the health sciences, create strategies for academic success, transition to campus life and learn how to effectively navigate and utilize campus resources. To achieve these goals students will engage in reflective self-assessments and connect with faculty, staff and students to learn more about academic options and opportunities at UMass and skills to develop to be successful at UMass and beyond. Students in this course will also have regular contact with academic advising to help ensure a successful transition to student life at UMass.

Open to students in the Public Health Exploratory Track and first-year Public Health, Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Communication Disorders majors.
