A Supportive Learning Community for First-Year Students
Serving SF State students since 2009
Small learning communities in each college
Students spend three semesters taking a core Metro class together. Metro courses work with all majors and have a faculty coordinator for extra support.
Supportive faculty committed to student success
Faculty are trained in critical pedagogy, work in teaching teams, and have ongoing support and professional development.
Advising and registration support readily available
Metro's student services team is ready to help students with their academic and advising needs throughout each semester.
Our mission is to increase equity and excellence in college completion through engaging, supportive, rigorous, and socially responsive education.
Metro is a campus-wide program that is based out of the College of Ethnic Studies. We offer learning communities ("Academies") in each of the colleges at SF State—Science & Engineering, Liberal & Creative Arts, Health & Social Sciences, Business, Education, and Ethnic Studies.
