Since 1993, the Miramontes Arts & Sciences Program (MASP) has actively worked to address barriers experienced by first-generation students, those from rural or small towns, low-income students, and others historically excluded from higher education. We support our students to reach their goals through scholarships, small seminar classes, leadership opportunities, community programming, faculty- and peer-mentoring, a welcoming community space, and more. MASP is a home on campus for many of our students during their journey at the ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ, and the connections they develop within our community carry on beyond their time at this institution. As MASP continues to grow as a diverse community, we strive to raise our scholarship funding and to provide more resources for our students.ÌýÌý
