A brief description of the institution’s programs to prepare students from low-income backgrounds for higher education:
Each summer, there is a mandatory pre-freshmen summer program that all EOP freshmen admits must attend. The program is a 5-week residential program that begins in July and ends in early August. The purpose of this program is to provide the students with a five-week orientation to University life and to assist them with preparing for college studies. The program is free. The full cost of tuition, fees, room and board, and books is paid for through an EOP Grant and university financial support. Small classroom instruction is offered to remediate, enrich, and provide a better start for university courses that will be taken in the fall semester. Students are also exposed to numerous academic and non-academic survival skills, extensive individual and group counseling sessions, and personal and educational advisement. Other priorities during the summer include extensive study skill enrichment and career awareness sessions.
