MESA (Math, Engineering & Science Achievement)

The MESA (Math, Engineering, & Science Achievement) Program at Skyline College offers a wide range of services to support educationally underrepresented students who plan to transfer to a four-year university and major in subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Math, and Physics. The MESA program helps students develop academic and leadership skills through various community-building opportunities: academic and transfer counseling, industry field trips and university tours, Academic Excellence Workshops, and leadership and networking events. Students also have access to the MESA Center, which gives them a chance to work on school projects, meet other students with similar majors, and participate in MESA activities.
