Delta’s MESA program provides academic support to first generation, low-income college students in Calculus-based fields in Mathematics, Engineering and Sciences, as they move towards transfer to a university. We are part of a statewide continuum of services, working with students in 6th grade through to their Bachelor’s degree, with 373 sister programs throughout California. MESA is administered through the University of California.

While providing direct academic support through tutoring, workshops, study groups, and access to books and equipment, the MESA Center is a hub of activity where like-minded students form long-lasting bonds with peers in their fields of study; the core of MESA's mutual support, encouragement and motivation.

MESA students receive multiple opportunities to meet professionals in the field, participate in STEM-focused university tours and visits to industry, build networks and join national organizations that broaden resources and expand opportunities for STEM majors.

Every year, MESA students at Delta, participate in highly competitive and well-paid research placements in prestigious universities across the country. Our students also consistently receive the largest cumulative amount of scholarship awards on campus and transfer well prepared for continued success.

MESA had an exciting and impactful Fall 2025 semester, welcoming 60 new students, helping 70 students attend national STEM conferences, and supporting 130 students with key academic and basic-needs resources. With new staff joining the team, a successful new student orientation, and a MESA Center redesign underway, the program continues to grow as a strong support system for STEM students.
