The best start to your degree

PathwayConnect, also known as Pathway, is the recommended start to every degree. Offered at a significantly reduced cost, Pathway lasts less than a year and includes foundational academic and religion courses — completely online — that help students see increased success. No ACT/SAT required for admission!

Every course you take is part of your degree. Choose from degrees in business, technology, health, communication, and other fields.

Courses
Building a foundation
Courses for Pathway teach foundational academic and religious education that will help you gain confidence and succeed in your degree program and in life. Perhaps most importantly, you will come closer to God as you participate in the gospel-based curriculum.

Gatherings
More than just courses
In addition to taking academic and religion courses, students gather once a week with one another. These gatherings occur virtually through online groups or at local church facilities where you participate in educational and leadership activities related to your courses, build lifelong friendships, and deepen testimonies of Jesus Christ.

Keeping your cost low

All courses are part of your degree program. But one of the best parts about starting your degree with through the Pathway program is that you will pay a reduced cost for your entire degree program!

It's opened up more opportunities for me that I couldn't have even imagined.
