The History of Our Program

Since 1976, EAOP initiatives at the University of California, San Diego, have been in place to increase the number of low-income and ethnically underrepresented students through informational, motivational and academic preparation activities.

EAOP at UCSD is one of ten such programs administered system-wide by the UC Office of the President to increase the number of low-income and ethnically underrepresented students on UC campuses. EAOP pro grams represent the largest student-centered initiative in the state.  Begun in 1976, UCSD’s program currently serves more than 3,000 students at 21 schools and community sites in San Diego and Imperial Counties. 
 
Of the approximately 500 high school seniors served each year by EAOP at UCSD, more than half are eligible to attend UCSD and other UC institutions, and more than 80 percent will go on to attend college at a UC campus or elsewhere.

We understand that creating a college-going culture is essential to the students' success. EAOP has established offices on the main UCSD campus and satellite offices in South Bay and Imperial Counties. 

EAOP strives to offer a variety of services including: online distance tutoring via web cams with UCSD undergraduates; PSAT/SAT exam preparation; academic counseling; college admissions workshops; parental sessions; campus tours and community projects.

As EAOP continues to evolve, its commitment to the student remains: to help educationally disadvantaged students prepare for the University of California.
