Extended Opportunity Programs & Services (EOPS)
EOPS is designed to help underserved, at-promise students from low-income backgrounds achieve their academic and personal goals - whether it be earning a certificate, associate's degree, or transferring to a four-year university. Under the EOPS umbrella we also have two other programs: CARE and NextUp.
