For Students

The Student Enrichment Opportunities (SEO) programs are designed to prepare students from underrepresented groups for biomedical careers by providing academic support and stimulating research through scholarship experiences.

Scholarships listed here are for students in the College of Science & Engineering.

Internships can provide hands-on work experience, help students make informed decisions regarding their career paths and even provide a competitive advantage when pursuing a permanent position.

The mission of the CoSE Student Success Center (CSSC) is to provide holistic academic advising services that meet students’ academic, professional, and personal goals to achieve success. We partner with CoSE students, faculty, and staff to extend beyond the classroom and support students as they transform into professional contributing members of their communities and the field of science.

It is essential to invest time and resources to advance substantive change by dismantling the racist structures that frame the work within the College of Science & Engineering (CoSE). The scientific, psychological, and pedagogical expertise of the college is diminished by our failure to recognize and reject our own complicity in individual, cultural and institutional racism. Our CoSE Task Force for Antiracism, created in 2020, developed goals with accountability benchmarks to dismantle racist structures and ensure that CoSE steadfastly and successfully pursues the vision of institutionalizing an antiracism structure comprised of policies, practices, and commitment to execute the mission of creating an antiracist culture and building an inclusive community.

Do you want to study in a supportive community that can help you graduate quickly? Metro College Success Program will help you do just that! Metro students receive individualized tutoring and advising to help them excel in their courses. They learn to write and speak with confidence and power, master science and engineering concepts and think critically about real-world issues.

SF State's Biology department has joined forces with the Computer Science department to design a program that lowers the barriers that biology students experience in learning computer science skills. This program will expose students to basic computing topics such as web design, mobile app development, data structures, and algorithms. All classes in the PINC program are new and specially designed for biologists.

The annual Student Project Showcase (SPS) event features a variety of exciting student projects, highlighting our faculty's commitment to providing SF State students with hands-on experience in the discovery of new knowledge. Join us to see an array of projects in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Geosciences, Geography, Math, Physics, and Psychology.

SF State students are sometimes called to demonstrate your resiliency by adapting and responding to a number of unexpected events. Some events are merely disruptive, such as the rolling blackouts to counteract increased energy consumption, or a nation-wide outage of the Zoom web conferencing service on the first day of instruction. Some events are catastrophic, such as the social and economic disparities endured by our most vulnerable populations, compounded by the global health crisis, or the local forest fires which have displaced faculty, staff and students, and created hazardous breathing conditions.
