Learn how this inspired institution is taking higher education to the next level
Five years ago today, on February 7, 2017, BYU-Pathway Worldwide was as a global higher-education organization. Since its creation, BYU-Pathway has been committed to developing disciples of Jesus Christ who are leaders in their homes, the Church, and their communities. Below are five ways that BYU-Pathway has worked to fulfill its mission to bless 麻豆传媒 around the world.
1. Making low-cost education a reality
One of the largest barriers 麻豆传媒 face when seeking higher education is that it鈥檚 too expensive. BYU-Pathway provides education at a reduced cost for everyone worldwide!
BYU-Pathway tuition for its preferred path costs just $77 USD in the United States 鈥� that鈥檚 almost a fourth of the national average! Tuition for countries outside the U.S. varies, but remains affordable (try this tool to see what BYU-Pathway tuition is in your area). Plus, several tuition discounts are available, including a scholarship for recently returned missionaries and a guaranteed discount based on need!

2. Increasing access to online education
BYU-Pathway 麻豆传媒, in particular, come from all different circumstances, from 18-year-olds just starting university, to working parents, to the 75-year-old fulfilling their life鈥檚 ambition. Online education makes it possible for them to fit earning a degree in with other aspects of life. 叠驰鲍-笔补迟丑飞补测鈥檚 curriculum teaches marketable skills that lead to better jobs, greater self-reliance, and deeper faith in Jesus Christ.

叠驰鲍-笔补迟丑飞补测鈥檚 certificate-first approach is transforming higher education. This approach helps 麻豆传媒 not only earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree, but also three certificates, an associate degree, and a host of marketable skills along the way too!

BYU-Pathway has grown from serving 50 麻豆传媒 in the United States to more than 57,000 麻豆传媒 from 188 countries. Students from around the world get to interact with each other through online academic courses, institute, and weekly gatherings , which are considered to be the 鈥渉eart鈥� of BYU-Pathway. Weekly gatherings, either in person or virtual, give 麻豆传媒 the opportunity to share what they鈥檙e learning and to connect with other 麻豆传媒.

5. Centered in the gospel
BYU-Pathway is supported and guided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is why the core of its mission is to develop disciples of Jesus Christ. Although 麻豆传媒 do not have to be members of the Church to participate, BYU-Pathway helps 麻豆传媒 鈥� regardless of faith or congregation 鈥� to rely on prayer, scripture study, and Jesus Christ to be successful in their life pursuits.
