Academic & Career Advising

The MESA Program at Highline College is designed to support students who aim to transfer to a four-year university in a STEM-related major. Through personalized guidance, the MESA Director and Faculty Sponsor collaborate with each student to create a tailored academic plan, ensuring they are on the right track for transfer and success in their chosen field. This academic support extends to identifying essential resources and ongoing assistance to help students thrive throughout their academic journey.

In addition to academic and transfer assistance, MESA also provides access to a wealth of professional development opportunities both on and off campus. These opportunities help students build valuable skills, connect with potential employers, and prepare for a successful career in STEM. Enrolled students will have access to a dedicated MESA CANVAS page, which serves as a hub for additional resources, as well as quarterly advising sessions to ensure they stay on course with their academic and professional goals.

MESA staff are committed to working closely with each student to determine the best pathway for their intended major. By using tools like career interest surveys, schedule calculators, and transfer planning resources, MESA helps students stay organized and informed about the steps and deadlines involved in transferring to the universities of their choice. This comprehensive support system helps students navigate the complexities of higher education, ensuring they are well-prepared to achieve their academic and career aspirations
