The Creating Opportunities for Academic Success and Transfer (COAST) Program offers strategic academic and student support services to students in 18 Prince George’s County high schools. COAST Advisors serve as the “in-house” Prince George’s Community College representatives and manage all pre-enrollment advising for general recruitment and dual enrollment at each of their schools.
