About us:

The EOP has over 50-years history of improving access and retention of historically low-income and educationally disadvantaged students. EOP students have the potential and demonstrated motivation to perform satisfactorily at a CSU, but may not have been able to realize their fullest potential because of economic or educational backgrounds.

Health and Human Development (HHD) Student Services Center/EOP is the advising center for EOP Students and also any undergraduate students enrolled in, or interested in, the College of Health and Human Development.
