EOPS

HISTORY

A diverse student body, one which represents all segments of society and different points of view is fundamental to enhancing the quality of education of all students. Historically, certain socio-economic groups within the state's population have not had equal access to a college education. To address the issue of equal access, the state Legislature in 1969 established Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) throughout the state's 107 community college system.
