Pre-College Programs

The San José State University Office of Pre-College Programs (PCP) continues its award-winning, comprehensive program by providing high quality services that generate in participants (low-income, first generation students) the skills and motivation necessary to persist in completing a program of secondary education and entering and completing a program of post secondary education.
