The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) provides necessary support systems for students to achieve academic and social (interpersonal) success. Students are considered for entry to EOP by indicating interest in the program via their application for admission and must be in their first year of college. Students also must meet the financial and academic parameters for program entry.
The goal of EOP is to increase the number of economically and academically challenged students completing college degrees. EOP provides a framework for student success that includes one-to-one case management of participants, time management skills, adjusting to college level academic expectations, transitioning to college life, maintaining appropriate study habits, tutoring in math, sciences and writing and meeting with the academic counselor to ensure adequate supports. The program also provides limited financial assistance and textbook funding. EOP has a dedicated study space, located in The Commons, the first floor of the library building For more Information email:
