MESA Program

 

The MESA Program is the best academic support and transfer program for math, engineering and science majors. 

 

The MESA Program will guide and support you to be successful in college, by providing:

• Tutoring for math, science and engineering classes
• Counseling to help students choose their classes and get the services they need
• FREE resources for students like textbooks, computers and calculators
• Scholarship Information and help to apply for scholarships (money!)
• Connections to industry to meet professionals, learn about companies and careers, and get internships to gain industry experience
