The Mathematics, Engineering, Science
Achievement Program
MESA is an academic program that provides a wide range of support services and activities aimed at fostering student achievement and increasing the success and participation they experience while pursuing a degree in mathematics, engineering, computer science, biology, architecture, kinesiology, or other science based programs. MESA enables students to prepare for and graduate from a four-year university with a math-based degree. It also seeks to increase the diverse pool of transfer-ready community college students who are prepared to excel as math, engineering and science majors. Through the program, students develop academic and leadership skills, increase educational performance, and gain confidence in their abilities to compete academically and professionally.
"MESA sets high standards while providing the academic tools needed for helping students
to succeed. This deceptively simple approach is effective and has produced remarkable
results."
Henry T. Yang
Chancellor, UC Santa Barbara
