The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) at California State University, Northridge designs, administers, and supports programs that deliver access and retention services to CSUN students. EOP focuses on highly motivated low-income, first-generation college students, a population that not only reflects the diversity of CSUN's feeder communities, but also the diversity of the university itself.

EOP provides eligible students with a modest EOP grant. Also, students may participate in an EOP Transitional Programs: Bridge Residential, Bridge Commuter, Transfer Bridge or FreshStart. Its Faculty Mentor Program provides mentoring services, training, and resources for faculty, staff, and students.
