Departmental Overview

Housed within the Division of Student Affairs, the Center for Educational Partnerships (CEP) is the primary department on the UC Berkeley campus charged with developing and implementing programs and strategies to improve academic preparation, expand educational opportunities, and ensure access to higher education for low-income, first generation, and underrepresented students. Working in partnership with local schools and communities, CEP improves academic achievement and expands post-secondary educational opportunities for students who face significant barriers to college.

The Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP), is one of eleven programs in the Center for Educational Partnerships and is a University of California-sponsored program that prepares students from under-resourced communities for admission to the University of California and other colleges and universities. This mission is accomplished by offering academic enrichment opportunities, providing timely college preparation information, and advising and supporting our students, families, schools, and communities. Services offered include academic enrichment summer academies, academic advising, and information dissemination to students, schools, and families on the educational and social benefits of post-secondary education.

EAOP partners with schools, districts, community organizations, and families to empower underserved students and prepare them for college and career success. For over 35 years, the Early Academic Outreach Program's Pre College Academy (PCA) has provided intensive academic enrichment for EAOP students from partner high schools throughout the Bay Area. PCA prepares students for academic success in the following school year, including excellence in classes that meet the University of California's A-G subject requirements and enrollment in Honors and Advanced Placement courses.
