The Math, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) Program supports first-generation and low-income students pursuing STEM majors by providing academic resources, counseling, professional development, and community to help students succeed and transfer to four-year institutions.

MESA is designed for students who:

• Are first-generation college students
• Receive financial aid (FAFSA or Dream Act application on file)
• Are pursuing a calculus-based STEM major
• Plan to transfer to a four-year institution and earn their first bachelor’s degree

MESA students have access to:

• Dedicated study and community space in the MESA Center
• STEM counseling and academic support
• Tutoring and guided study sessions
• Workshops, guest speakers, and professional development opportunities
• Internship and research information
• Computer access, study aids, and loaner equipment
• Free printing and other academic resources

The MESA Center provides a supportive environment where students can build community, strengthen academic skills, and prepare for success in STEM education and careers.
