Academic and Administrative Support
Mentoring and Advisement
A supportive and integrated advising system that enables each student to take full advantage of the vast resources of CUNY and New York City is one of the unique features that attract students to Macaulay Honors College.
Whether students are interested in graduate or professional school, exposure to a specific field of work or community service, or starting something that has never existed before, Macaulay Advisors on the campuses of the eight senior colleges–and also at Macaulay–connect them with the resources to succeed in college and in life. We encourage you to build a network over the course of your Macaulay career to achieve what you imagined and beyond.
Pre-Health Programs Advisement
Students interested in exploring the field of healthcare, whether it be pre-med, pre-vet, or any of the allied health professions, can turn to Macaulay’s Pre-Health Programs Advisor for guidance and support. At Macaulay Honors College, pre-health students pursue a range of disciplines and majors: from chemistry to anthropology to biology or the humanities. Students consistently find work in top research labs, participate in rewarding pre-health related internships, and volunteer their time in service of others. In addition to the traditional pre-health advising resources on each of the 8 home campuses, Macaulay students have an opportunity to work holistically with the Macaulay Pre-Health Programs Advisor to identify and hone in on the kinds of experiences that are most meaningful to them. Through individual advising sessions, students can better identify opportunities for self-directed learning, and can explore their own unique path to medicine and other healthcare-related fields.
Honors Directors and Advisors
Your Honors College Director and Advisor are your strongest advocates. Together with your instructors and teaching faculty, they can help you not merely to succeed but to excel. Your campus Macaulay team will work with you to customize your choices in curriculum, research, internships, study abroad, and other opportunities for enriching your college experience.
Macaulay Honors College students tend to be involved—very involved—which can sometimes feel overwhelming. If you find it difficult to juggle your commitments, your Advisor or Director is your best resource. They can answer questions, suggest other resources, and generally help you figure out strategies to succeed in college to the best of your abilities.
