This project includes plans to increase the number of bachelor degrees in natural science and engineering at California State University Northridge (CSUN) by increasing retention rates of first-time freshmen and of transfer students. The goal is to develop a support network for success based on national and established campus best practices. Major components of the project are: 1) fostering success in lower-division mathematics, 2) a summer interdisciplinary team experience after the first year, and 3) career awareness activities. Many of the additional degrees are expected to be earned by underrepresented students given that the institution is designated as Hispanic-serving. In addition, CSUN serves a region in which a majority of college-bound students are economically disadvantaged and are the first generation to pursue a college degree.

该项目包括计划通过提高新生和转学生的保留率，增加加州州立大学北岭分校（CSUN）自然科学和工程学士学位的数量。目标是根据国家和既定的校园最佳实践，建立一个成功的支持网络。 该项目的主要组成部分是：1）促进低年级数学的成功，2）第一年后的夏季跨学科团队经验，以及3）职业意识活动。 鉴于该机构被指定为西班牙裔服务，许多额外的学位预计将由代表性不足的学生获得。 此外，CSUN服务于一个地区，其中大多数大学生在经济上处于不利地位，是第一代追求大学学位。
