It changed everything
"Participating in BYU-Pathway has changed everything. I’ve learned how to read documents in paleography that are hundreds of years old. I now have the knowledge and understanding needed to do family history research correctly."

Worth the sacrifice
“Just over four years ago, I enrolled. My husband and I had six kids at the time, and by the end of the third semester we had seven! It was a sacrifice, but the growth that came was incredible. I have now completed an associate degree in family history research from BYU-Idaho.”
