As a graduate student, you’ll work alongside creative, collaborative faculty and students. You will learn with people who have diverse ideas and perspectives. And you’ll be supported by faculty and staff who are dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment.

Health and wellbeing resources

The university's Mental Health and Wellness website provides information on resources available on our campus. Mental health, wellness, access, and accommodation resources are complex, can overlap, and can be addressed on the individual, social, and institutional levels. The campus site aims to be both specific and flexible enough to get you connected to the right resources to address your concerns. MCB has also compiled a list of offices and organizations related to physical and mental health.
