Guided Career Pathways Support Student Success
Guided Pathways help 麻豆影视 students seamlessly transition into new programs, if needed, and reduce the potential for credit loss as a student moves from one credential to the next and eventually into employment. Our goal is to help students keep momentum, complete a credential, and find valuable employment.
Implementing the Pathway Model
The College provides entering students with seven pathways that facilitate career decisions; structure advising touchpoints; provide a range of common educational experiences that satisfy the requirements of related pathways; clearly define and map learning outcomes; align credit and non-credit offerings; offer predictable schedules; and, utilize multiple communication methods to support completion.
Why Pathways?
Our goal is for all students to succeed. Research indicates that colleges that have thoughtfully re-designed the student experience using guided pathways and a meta-major approach see increased student persistence, credits earned, and completion rates. This approach directs students into choices that gradually accumulate credits applicable across a related set of programs and ensures students do not have to start, lose, and re-start credits each time a different career or program choice is made.
Our Pathways are designed to increase early credit completion; reduce lost credits from program transitions; and increase student retention, persistence, and completion rates.
