Westfield state university urban education program

The Urban Education Program embraces a notion of an academic community enriched and enhanced by diversity along with varied ethnic and educational backgrounds. We are especially committed to increasing the representation of those populations that have been historically excluded from participating in an institution of higher learning. The mission of the Urban Education Program is to provide college readiness and support for first-generation students that will improve individual performance and academic achievement.

From its inception in , the Urban Education Program upholds the goals of enhancing and enriching the academic community by increasing the representation of diverse populations, championing inclusivity, empowering first-generation college students, and fostering academic excellence and leadership.

The Urban Education Program is a student support program that provides academic and social assistance to first-generation college students through a college readiness summer program and ongoing advising during the academic year. After a successful application process, prospective Urban Education Program students are encouraged to follow program guidelines.
