SWIFT Program Celebrates Milestones

Cal State San Marcos’ Scholars in Wellness and Innovation Fast-Track (SWIFT) program is celebrating several milestones as its second year gets underway. It continues to increase opportunities and promote student success. 

SWIFT’s mission is to develop a new generation of mental and behavioral health professionals by offering expedited bachelor's degrees that prioritize dual enrollment, community service and practical experience. 

SWIFT’s accomplishments include:

• successfully completing its first year with an 89% retention rate, as 33 of 37 students are continuing in the program;
• the three-year accelerated program receiving 131 applications, representing a 162% increase from last year;
• successfully hosting the CSUSM REP4 Summit this summer, bringing together SWIFT and College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) students for an engaging experience focused on connection, learning and community.
