STEM Opportunities at MC

MentorNet

MentorNet is an online program that automatically matches STEM students with a professional mentor for a 9-month online pen-pal relationship. This match is based upon surveys that both the mentor and protégé fill out when they sign up. The best part? It is free for Mission College students!

For more information, or to start your own mentor experience, visit MentorNet.

Honors Transfer Project

The Honors Transfer Project provides highly motivated students the opportunity to work closely with instructors and other motivated students in advanced levels of critical thinking, analysis, research, writing and communication. Honors courses offer enriched educational experiences through challenging coursework, stimulating colloquia, and the opportunity to study with other students interested in the highest level of learning. Most Honors courses meet IGETC and CSU GE-B transfer requirements and are taught by outstanding faculty, selected for their special interest in working with Honors students.
