MESA College Prep Program

MATH | ENGINEERING | SCIENCE | ACHIEVEMENT

The Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) program serves low-income and educationally disadvantaged students at the pre-college and college levels. CSULB's College of Engineering offers programs for both the pre-college level (MCP) and college level (MUP). The MESA College Prep (MCP) program at CSULB partners with middle schools and high schools from the Long Beach and Los Angeles area to prepare students to attend college.

The MESA College Prep Program is an amazing opportunity for middle school students, grades 6-8, and high school students, grades 9-12, to develop academically. Our program focuses on ensuring that students are taking the right steps to reach their goals for their post-secondary education by providing:

tutoring from CSULB undergraduate engineering students
individual academic planning
exposure to technical careers and role models
hands-on STEM activities (MESA Days)
and more!

The CSULB MESA center is dedicated to providing the best college preparation experience possible to our students.
