Partnership for
Transfer Success in USDA Career Majors Program II (PTSP)
The SAC University
Transfer Center was awarded this three-year grant to support one
cohort of students. The cohort will start in Fall 2011 and receive
support from the program through Summer 2013. It is expected that a
total of 40 students will benefit directly from the program’s
services, while a broader student population will benefit from the
project overall.
The PTS Program II
is designed to increase diversity and improve the preparation of
students entering USDA related careers. The project builds on
collaborations with California Polytechnic University, Pomona, Santa
Ana Unified School District, and USDA related agencies. The scope of
this project is far-reaching, creating a pipeline into USDA related
majors beginning with outreach to high school students, retention
strategies and experiential learning opportunities for community
college students, and networking opportunities for university
students.
