The 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.  HCOP operates under the auspices of the College of Health and Human Services. Once students reach the ranks of our university, as an HCOP student, we offer you a great deal of resources and assistance to help prepare you become competitive applicants for medical, dental, pharmacy, physical therapy and other health/allied professional schools and graduate programs.    The HCOP office also serves as a hub from which other academic programs are conducted: The Hispanic Center of Excellence (HCOE) and Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP). HCOE has been established to prepare students from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds for medical school and LSAMP for entry into Science, Math, Engineering and Technology graduate/doctoral programs.
