What
is MESA? |
| |
MESA
stands for Mathematics, Engineering and Science Achievement.
It is a program that began in 1970 to nurture minority
students for careers in Math and Science. Originally developed
as a partnership between an Oakland high school and UC Berkeley's
School of Engineering, MESA has grown to over 65 centers
across the state, serving students of all ages.
MESA
has a presence in the high schools and middle schools through
the MESA Schools Program (MSP), at about a thirds of California's
community colleges with the MESA Community College Program
(MCCCP); and at some four year colleges and universities
through the MESA Engineering Program (MEP). Since it was
developed in California, MESA has been replicated in many
other states.
The community
college MESAprogram provides academic support for educationally
disadvantaged students interested in math, science or engineering
so they can transfer to four-year institutions and successfully
attain math-based degrees. Components of the program include:
- Study
Center
-
Academic, career and financial aid advising
-
Transfer assistance
-
Orientation courses
-
Organized group study
-
Field trips
-
Career development
-
Summer enrichment programs
Funding
has historically come from the state of California and
private industry in about a 3:2 ratio
