Aligned with the mission of Eugenio María de Hostos Community College, the Office of School-College Partnerships (OSCP) offers access to higher education, intellectual growth and upward socio-economic mobility to middle and high school students in the South Bronx. Through College Now, Early College, and CUNY Explorers, OSCP supports Hostos’ commitment to equity by ensuring high quality dual enrollment and dual credit courses, bridge-to-college programs, academic momentum toward a college degree, and exposure to careers, transfer, and professional programs.
OSCP strives to make earning a college degree more accessible, affordable, and attainable for a wide range of students in the South Bronx.
College Now Program
CUNY’s College Now program enables NYC DOE high school students to develop academic momentum toward a college degree, envision options for their future, make informed choices about college and learn how their education can lead to rewarding careers.
Early College
CUNY Early College (EC) creates, grows, and supports high schools committed to early college programs and college readiness outcomes for traditionally underrepresented students in higher education. We support strong outcomes for early college schools through professional development for high school teachers and leaders and oversight of campus partnerships. Our network of schools is one of the nation’s largest early college networks, enabling high school students to earn an associate’s degree or up to two years of college credits at no cost.
Hostos partners with two EC schools: Hostos- Lincoln Academy (since 2005) and HERO HS (since 2012).
CUNY Explorers
CUNY Explorers ensures that 6th-10th grade NYCPS students have the opportunity to visit a college campus to promote academic success while building life skills. Through age-appropriate and customized visits, CUNY Explorers reinforces the message that all students can go to college, college is affordable, and students can take steps now to achieve their college goals.
