With support from the U.S. Department of Education, the Enhancing Postbaccalaureate Opportunities at Cal State Fullerton for Hispanic Students (EPOCHS) program serves to increase the number of Latino students who enroll in and complete a postbaccalaureate degree at CSUF. We hope to achieve this goal by strengthening the environment for graduate studies at CSUF, including the following services.
