    The Laney Puente Program is a transfer preparation program designed to increase the number of educationally underserved students who transfer to four-year colleges and universities, earn degrees, and return to their mentors. The program is offered as a partnership between the University of California and The California Community Colleges.

    The Laney College Puente Program offers students:

    • An English 5 class with a Latinx and other multicultural-themed curriculum
    • Counseling 57, Personal and Career Development
    • Support you to create and develop a personalized transfer plan with a Latinx Counselor.
    • Embedded tutor support in your English class and additional free tutoring at the Latinx Cultural Center
    • Campus Visits: Free trips to visit 4-year colleges and learn about their support services for Latinx students
    • Mentors: Professionals who will support your college and career success
