WELCOME TO MESA!
The 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 (STEM).
Part of a statewide program, MESA at COM was established in 2023 to increase the number of 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 two cohorts of students to STEM bachelor degree programs.
