In college exploration workshops, students research different institutions that offer programs aligned to their interests and goals.

Each grade level visits multiple institutes each year, which have included: UC Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara City College, UCLA, USC, Santa Monica College, Cal State LA, CSUN, Pierce College, Art Center, Cal State Channel Islands and Moorpark College.
