WELCOME TO MESA!
The Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement (MESA) program at College of Marin is a dynamic community that provides academic support and enrichment to students interested in science, technology, engineering, and/or math majors.
Part of a statewide program, MESA at COM was established in 2023 to increase the number of low-income and first-generation college students who achieve academic and career success in STEM fields, including transfer to a four-year university. We now support over 100 students annually, and have celebrated the transfer of four cohorts of students to STEM bachelor degree programs.
MESA benefits include:
- Drop-in tutoring for most STEM classes
- Dedicated counseling
- Extensive transfer support
- MESA Community Center, including friendly faces, 3D printer, textbooks, chemistry sets, snacks, coffee, microwave, and more
- Weekly study groups facilitated by tutors and faculty
