Undergraduate Resources & Support Hub

Students are assigned a home-school advisor and a GPH advisor to ensure they are fulfilling their curricular requirements for both their home school and GPH. Specifically, students should see:

• Their home-school advisor for questions related to the liberal arts core, their non-GPH major, and any additional departmental and home-school requirements
• Their GPH advisor for questions related to their GPH requirements
  • CAS and Silver co-majors: Jennifer Zapata (jennifer.zapata@nyu.edu)
  • GLS, Nursing, and Steinhardt co-majors: Kristin Cutler (kristin.cutler@nyu.edu)

For questions about minor requirements or declaring a GPH minor, please reach out to:

• Public Health Minor: Jennifer Zapata (jennifer.zapata@nyu.edu)
• Bioethics Minor: Kristin Cutler (kristin.cutler@nyu.edu)

NYU GPH offers several 4+1 programs. For questions about 4+1 requirements or declaring the 4+1, please reach out to Kristin Cutler (kristin.cutler@nyu.edu).

The Office of Student Affairs offers drop-in hours as an additional opportunity for students to engage with GPH undergraduate advisors. Stop by and say hello — no appointment needed!

GPH REACH will provide NYU undergraduate students exposure to the range of research-related activities conducted by GPH faculty. Working with faculty mentors, students will get hands-on experience with public health-related research.  Concurrently, students will also participate in workshops designed to prepare them to successfully engage in these research-related activities. Finally, REACH will provide another opportunity to engage undergraduate students at NYU and strengthen their connections with GPH and our faculty.

Who will be involved in REACH?

The 2026 pilot of REACH will match GPH faculty with NYU undergraduate students who have declared public health as either a co-major or a minor. Students apply, are selected, begin workshops, and are matched to a faculty mentor during the Spring 2026 semester. They will begin working with you as undergraduate research assistants in Spring 2026.  Although students will be expected to work a uniform amount of time, each faculty member will work out their own schedule with their student. Students will be paid by the GPH REACH program.

What types of projects or study-related activities can I expect undergraduate students to engage in?

Undergraduate students can engage in activities such as data collection, data entry and cleaning, transcription, qualitative coding and literature review. These are activities that are fundamental to the research process. As part of their training, students will complete research ethics training.

This is your chance to:

• Gain valuable, hands-on research experience
• Apply your GPH coursework to real world problems
• Earn money—REACH Fellows are paid!
• Build a sense of belonging and feel like you are truly part of the GPH research
  community!

You should apply if you:

• Have strong written and oral skills.
• Are organized and reliable.
• Are willing to work on teams and with study participants in a respectful manner,
• And finally, are curious, willing to learn something new, and/or develop advanced research skills!

Spaces are limited, so please apply soon.

Participants in the Pathways into Quantitative Aging Research (PQAR) summer program will have an intensive schedule of courses, seminars and research, with enough free time to explore the city of New York on the weekends. For six weeks during the summer, students will receive instruction on quantitative and qualitative research methods, responsible conduct of research (RCR) training as well as GRE-prep. This program is meant to provide students with the skills needed to not only conduct research, but also to apply to and succeed in graduate school.
