What Is EOPS?
The Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) is a state funded program enacted by legislation passed in 1969 by the Assembly of the California State Legislature. It is designed to ensure campus access and provide support services to students who face economic, language, and social barriers and who are historically under-represented in higher education. EOPS is committed to assisting students who participate in the program in the successful attainment of their educational and career goals as today's students prepare to enter an increasingly technological and multicultural society. Our goal is to support and enable EOPS students' successful pursuit of a higher education through a comprehensive program of services.
What is CARE?
Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education (CARE) is a program within EOPS that is designed to help single-parent students succeed in college. The committed CARE staff and support services are available to assist students in removing obstacles to academic success. Because we CARE, we will provide you with an opportunity to achieve your educational goals.
