This program is part of a 2004 nationwide initiative launched by MESA USA, a nationally renowned education program, and Hewlett-Packard (HP). MESA, which stands for Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement, is a national program that supports educationally disadvantaged students through the education pipeline to excel in math and science and go on to attain degrees in engineering, science and math fields.
 
Housed on the Clarkston Campus, the GPC MESA program is based on the highly successful MESA Community College Program (MCCP) in California. The program includes academic tutoring and advising as well as career counseling and college transfer information for students interested in majoring in mathematics, science, engineering, and computer science. Students interested in learning more about this program should contact the MESA office.
