Multicultural Scholars Program
The College of Liberal Arts offers programs and services through its Multicultural Scholars Program (MSP) for the purpose of creating a diverse and inclusive educational community. We strive to create an environment where all students can be academically successful. Low-income and first-generation college students may find our resources particularly helpful for fostering student success.
As part of this program, students will receive free peer-to-peer mentoring within our Underrepresented Student Network and many professional development opportunities. Students will also be assigned to a dedicated Academic Advisor throughout their time at Cal Poly. MSP is an excellent way to make a positive start in your college education, and to start building your connections to your community from day one!
