Metro College Success Program
Since 2009, the Metro College Success Program has offered SFSU students in their first two years of college supportive learning communities within each of the six academic colleges — the College of Science & Engineering, the College of Liberal & Creative Arts, the College of Health & Social Sciences, the Lam Family College of Business, the Graduate College of Education and the College of Ethnic Studies.
A School Within a School
When you join the Metro College Success Program, you’ll spend your first three to four semesters as part of a learning community called an Academy. In each Academy you’ll build a solid foundation — both academically and socially — that will bolster the rest of your college experience.
Each academy is home to 70 students. Together, you’ll take your Metro and general education courses. You’ll also have access to advisers, tutoring, mentors and more to ensure that you’re meeting your goals.
How to apply
The program is open to high school seniors who are admitted to SFSU and plan to attend college full time. You can apply for Metro through our Metro online form. After submitting the application you will receive an email from metro@sfsu.edu.
Applicants are accepted on a rolling basis until the program is full. Eligible students may apply to both Metro and the Educational Opportunity Program.
