About MESA
About MESA
The Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) Program at PC provides resources and extra support to students who want to transfer to four‐year colleges or universities to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM) based degrees.
PC's MESA program is part of a nationally recognized academic support program to meet current, future, and global workforce demands in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.
Specifically, the goal of Math Engineering Science Achievement Transfer Preparation Pathways is to increase the course success and transfer rates of community college students who are in pursuit of STEM related degrees, and ultimately careers.
We do this through:
A STEM Success Orientation Course
Student Professional and Career Development
A dedicated study center
Academic Advising and Transfer Assistance
Served 100 scholars since program inception
78.9% of MESA scholars have a GPA of 3.0 or higher compared to 52.9% of their peers also pursuing STEM degrees
27 mentors including faculty and community members who support MESA scholars
46 MESA Scholars have graduated and/or transferred since 2022
