MESA provides academic support to students through three programs.

The MESA Schools Programs serves middle and senior high school students throughout the state so they will excel in math and science and go on to college in math-based majors.

The MESA Community College Program supports community college students so they will transfer to four-year institutions as majors in math, engineering, science, and technology.

The MESA Engineering Program centers provide support to educationally disadvantaged students at four-year institutions to attain engineering or computer science baccalaureate degrees.

Two unique MESA projects offer important professional development for math and science teachers while providing academic development support for pre-college students.

The Learning Loop, co-developed by MESA teachers, provides an invaluable tool for teachers to help students learn math.

The Mathematics-Physics-Technology Institutes (MPTI) provide opportunities for educators to use technology to integrate math and science teaching.
