The GANAS Program is an innovative access and retention program that offers integrated academic and cultural programming for transfer students at CSUEB.
The GANAS (Gaining Access 'N Academic Success) Program at CSU East Bay is an innovative access and retention program that offers integrated academic and cultural programming to welcome and socialize new transfer students while increasing their confidence, engagement, academic success, persistence, and, ultimately, baccalaureate degree attainment rates.
Students participate in a year-long cohort-based learning community paired with a transfer success seminar, intrusive academic counseling, and mentoring. GANAS helps students integrate their home and school identities by creating a sense of familia (family) within the cohort.
Students fulfill upper division G.E. breadth requirements by enrolling and completing the required GANAS courses during the first year. While GANAS is open to all students, our program provides Latino/a-themed academic content and supportive services.
