Ascent

A supportive college experience designed for recent high school graduates.

What is Ascent?

Ascent is a program where you move through college with the same group of students, taking key classes together. It’s about building friendships, teamwork, and keeping your momentum strong from day one.

Why Choose Ascent?

• Stay on track – Most students graduate in 2 years and transfer to a CSU or UC
• Small cohort – Build friendships and connections that last
• Extra support – Dedicated Counselor, Student Services Specialist, and direct faculty access
• Get involved – Join student clubs, career readiness activities, and gain real-world experience

What Makes Ascent Different?

Ascent is more than a schedule of classes—it’s a connected college experience.

• Behind every class section are passionate instructors who design courses for academic success and career growth.
• Most courses use low- or no-cost materials to keep college affordable.
• Outside the classroom, you’ll have personal guidance, enrichment opportunities, and career readiness support—plus access to peer mentoring and student clubs.
• Multiple campus teams work together to keep you on a clear two-year path to graduation and transfer.

From your first class to transfer day, Ascent gives you the structure and support you need to succeed.
