Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOP&S) is a Student Services support program assisting students whose educational and socioeconomic backgrounds might limit their access to higher education or hinder their ability to be academically successful in their college-level studies.

For 50 years, EOP&S has provided economically and educationally disadvantaged MJC students the assistance to pursue their educational and vocational goals and make the college experience accessible and rewarding. Our objective is to help students recognize and enhance their abilities and become successful college students.

The EOP&S program also has three component programs offering additional services. Those programs are the Bridge Program, CARE Program, and College Readiness Program.

Students who meet EOP&S eligibility criteria are provided services that are over and above those services provided to all students at Modesto Junior College.
