Comprehensive, Culturally Specific, Multilingual Education Programs and Services

The Multicultural Counseling Services consist of five academic retention programs that provide support services (counseling, tutoring), academic classes (English, math, college success), and other program-specific activities, primarily for underprepared, underrepresented students, although our ‘open-door’ policy allows all CCSF students to receive services.
