Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) is an academic/extra-scholastic student support and resources program located on the campus of Fresno State. We are dedicated to serving students from economically and/or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds who have an interest in pursuing a career in the health and allied health professions.
These Centers also provide support services and infrastructure for interdisciplinary and discipline-specific research and evaluation projects involving faculty and students of the College of Health and Human Services. Each of these Center programs provides opportunities for leveraging of institutional resources, interdisciplinary faculty involvement and regional community engagement which further enhance the university's capacity to respond to high priority health and human service needs of residents in the Central Valley.
