What is the Puente Program?
The Puente Program is a transfer success program that builds English composition/critical thinking skills and counseling courses for two consecutive semesters. The goal of this program is to increase the number of educationally underrepresented students who enroll in four-year colleges and universities, earn college degrees, and return to the community as mentors and leaders to future generations.
*The Puente Program is supported and funded by the University California Regents and Community College Chancellor's Office Statewide*
