At Isenberg, our bright students build bright futures. Earn your degree on our flagship campus in the vibrant town of Amherst. The Isenberg experience prepares our graduates to arrive in the job market with the skills and experience necessary to excel in their professions.
While the Isenberg Undergraduate Programs physical location is closed, the academic advising team is working virtually and will be providing advising services through various means including email, phone, and zoom meetings.
Although the office will be answering the phone, the expected high volume will mean that it is much easier to submit questions by email. As we approach the busiest part of the semester for our office, the academic advising team will be periodically checking emails and responding to students.

You may email us at undergrad@isenberg.umass.edu and your inquiry will be forwarded to one of our academic advisors.
