There's no way we can overstate this: MCPHS is really high tech. With three physical campuses and one online campus, a community from around the world, and 108 health science programs, we have to be. That's why our Office of Information Services (IS) is so important. IS supports the technological needs of all MCPHS students, faculty and staff, keeping the University community connected 24/7. Whether you need help on campus or remotely, our dedicated and highly-trained staff is available via phone, email and at each physical campus to provide computer, software and account assistance.
