A Learning Community for the First Two Years of College

Metro College Success Program (Metro) gives you personalized support for college success through in-class academic support, tutoring and advising. At the core of Metro is a learning community made up of linked courses each semester, pairing a general education course and a Metro course. In Metro, you will build a solid foundation for college success and meaningful work in a variety of careers.
Metro uses targeted outreach to support first-generation, low-income and/or historically underrepresented students in their successes at San Francisco State University.
