There's No Way We Can Overstate This: MCPHS is Really High Tech
With three different campuses, students and faculty from around the world and more than 60 different programs, we have to be. That's why our Office of Information Services (IS) is so important.

Whether you need help on campus or remotely, our dedicated and highly-trained staff is available via phone, e-mail and at each physical campus to provide computer, software and account assistance.
