MEOC helps adult students overcome class, social, academic and cultural barriers to pursue higher education. MEOC services include assistance in choosing a college, tutoring, personal and financial counseling, career counseling, assistance in applying to college, workplace and college visits, and assistance in applying for financial aid.
