Industry’s workforce crisis In 2001, some 14,000 California jobs requiring
science or engineering degrees went unfilled.
Fewer than 20,000 science and engineering graduates are produced annually in our state. To fill state vacancies, California must increase the number of these graduates by 70%.
Jobs that require science, engineering and technical training will increase 51% nationally. This means 6 million potential job openings.

Science and math education: A grave challenge
California ranks 49th among all states in students taking advanced science courses 48th for eighth grade proficiency in science 35th for high school students taking advanced
math courses

Why California needs MESA The number of MESA high
school seniors who went to college directly after graduation is higher than the state average.
The UC eligibility rate for MESA’s high school seniors is more than four times higher than the state average.

Why California needs MESA Most MESA community college students transfer to four-year
institutions.
100% of MESA community college students transferred to four-year institutions as science, engineering or math majors.

Why California needs MESA (continued)
California MESA has been replicated in 14 states.
Nearly 100 companies work with MESA because of its outstanding track record.

“MESA is a shining example of how schools, from primary to postsecondary, can form partnerships to work toward closing the achievement gap.”
Jack O’Connell, State Schools Superintendent
“America is at a crossroads; how will we respond to the competitive pressures of a global workforce? MESA offers an important solution.”
Tom Springmeier, Texas Instruments
“ MESA brings along students who are able to stay abreast of fast-paced technological changes.”
Yno Gonzalez, AT&T

Mission StatementMESA enables educationally disadvantaged students to prepare for and graduate from a four-year college or university with a math-based degree in areas such as engineering, the sciences, computer science, and mathematics.
Through MESA, students develop academic and leadership skills, increase educational performance, and gain confidence in their ability to compete professionally. MESA has particular interest in and focus on students from those groups who historically have had the lowest levels of attainment to four-year and graduate level programs.
By closing this achievement gap, MESA students and graduates will be better able to make significant contributions to the socioeconomic well-being of their families and their communities.

Vision Statement
To support the national science and mathematics educational agenda by ensuring that all MESA students are mathematically and scientifically literate so that they can play a leadership role in an increasingly technological world.
