Educational Opportunity Program

The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is designed to improve access and retention of historically low-income, first-generation, and educationally disadvantaged students. EOP identifies and admits students who have the potential to succeed at California State University campuses, but who have not achieved their educational goals because of economic and/or educational background.

The ultimate goal of EOP is to provide incoming students from historically underserved backgrounds with the resources, tools and skills that will help them succeed in college and ultimately graduate from California State University, Bakersfield.  

All students, regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin, who are interested in EOP are welcome to apply.
