OUR MISSION 

The mission of METAS is to serve and empower first-generation, immigrant, students of color, and students from marginalized communities through an education that is rigorous, supportive, and just. We, the METAS staff, believe that each one of our students are agents of social change who, with the right support, will thrive as leaders, academics, research scholars and global citizens.

To achieve our mission, METAS coordinates innovative instructional and support services available to all student on campus. This is made possible through collaboration with programs and departments across the SJCC campus and across institutions of higher education and public high schools. Together, we aim to increase retention, successful course completion, and persistence towards completion of a certificate, associate degrees, or university transfer requirements while disrupting the barriers that attempt to diminish our students’ educational and career aspiration.

We encourage you to visit the METAS Center in the Multi-Disciplinary Building. Here, students have a welcoming and friendly learning environment. Our services include:

• SAN JOSE PROMISE AND SUMMER BRIDGE
  
• CULTIVAMOS EXCELENCIA RESEARCH SCHOLARS
• PEER -LED TEAM LEARNING
• SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION 
  
• ​METAS LEADERSHIP INTERNSHIP​
  
• ACADEMIC COUNSELING
  
• TEXTBOOK AND CALCULATOR  LENDING LIBRARY
  

The SJCC METAS Program was established through a U.S. Department of Education Title V grant and is open to all San Jose City College students. The Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program (referred to as Title V: HSI) assists eligible Hispanic-serving institutions of higher education to expand their capacity to serve Hispanic and low-income students.
