About MESA

Since 1982, the SDSU MESA program has provided academic support, “out of classroom” experiences and industry and alumni engagement; which help students succeed academically and develop professionally to achieve career goals. MESA students engage in "high impact" experiences, such as undergraduate research, first year seminar, learning communities and leadership development. The goal of the program is to enhance student engagement and graduate diverse students in the STEM fields. We are a postsecondary component of MESA California.
