EOP Summer Bridge 

The EOP BEST Summer Bridge Program is an intensive 5-week academic preparation program designed to enhance student educational achievement, timely progress towards degree and successful transition to the university. This is achieved by working collaboratively with faculty and staff in providing students with the fundamental academic skills, social networks, and personal development essential to their success at SDSU.

​

Each summer, a select group of new EOP freshmen students are given an opportunity to get a head start on their college education and experience life at SDSU. Students participate in five weeks of intensive academic studies allowing students to earn college units. Students also enhance writing, math, and study skills focused toward meeting SDSU’s writing and math competency requirements.

​

EOP’s BEST Summer Bridge Program at San Diego State University is regarded as one of the nation’s finest summer transitional programs. BEST students generally have higher grade-point averages and lower academic probation rates than other SDSU students. BEST alumni have gone on to graduate school or are successfully employed as professionals in a range of fields.
