• B. International students
• C. First-gen college students
• D. Non-traditional students

Answer: (C)

The Educational Opportunities Program (EOP) primarily serves first-generation college students, providing them with access to higher education along with various support services. This program was established to help students who may face social, economic, or educational barriers in their pursuit of a college degree. EOP focuses on enhancing the educational experiences of those who may not have had the same opportunities as their peers, fostering an inclusive environment that assists with academic advising, tutoring, financial aid, and community building.

While the other groups mentioned, such as transfer students, international students, and non-traditional students, may benefit from various services offered at universities, EOP specifically targets first-gen college students to help bridge the gap for those entering higher education for the first time in their families.
