EOP Summer Bridge Program
A tradition since 1985
For 40 years, EOP at CSU Bakersfield has brought a majority of its incoming students onto campus during the summer after graduation and before Fall semester. This event, called the EOP Summer Bridge Program, focuses on the transition from high school to college and prepares our students for the expectations of University coursework.
Participants in Summer Bridge have applied to and been accepted by the EOP program. Some participants can attend voluntarily for a head start on the fall, while others are attending as a condition of their admission to CSUB--but all participants gain a valuable understanding of the expectations of college study, a cohort of new friends to take classes with in the Fall, and a mentor who will share his or her college experiences and provide a roadmap for the first year.
