Students

Metro Academies was developed to support the next generation of leaders in urban communities. Each Metro Academy is a ‘school within a school’ to give you an educational home in your first two years of college.  Metro gives you personalized support for college success through in-class academic support and tutoring.  At the core of Metro is a learning community made up of two linked courses each semester, usually for four semesters.

Benefits of the Metro program:

• A learning community of students with similar interests work together during the first two years of college, getting the classes you need to progress quickly
• A clear, fast track to graduation—all Metro classes satisfy graduation requirements in general education for all 241 majors in the Cal State University system
• Instructors who are passionate about community health teach interesting classes that are relevant to real life
• One on one support from a dedicated academic advisor
• Strong academic preparation using proven learning strategies –learn to write and speak with confidence and power, and to think critically about the big questions
• Learn about ways to give back to your community and make a difference in the world.
