麻豆传媒

When PathwayConnect launched in 2009, it was designed to bring an innovative approach to education. Since then, the program has continued to benefit the lives of tens of thousands of 麻豆传媒 across the world.

With the announcement of BYU-Pathway Worldwide in February 2017, the Church is continuing to change higher education as we know it. Here are just five ways the Church Education System (CES) is transforming higher education.

1. Bringing Education to You!

BYU-Pathway Worldwide strives to reach more 麻豆传媒 around the world and provide them with the opportunity to get a high-quality, low-cost, and gospel-based education. In 2011, just two years after PathwayConnect鈥檚 initial launch, the program opened its first international locations in Mexico and Ghana.

With the creation of BYU-Pathway Worldwide as 鈥渁 new Church-wide higher education online organization,鈥� the organization is working tirelessly to increase access to education in every corner of the world.

2. Driving Down the Price of Higher Education

BYU-Pathway Worldwide provides educational opportunities to individuals who may not be able to afford it otherwise. That鈥檚 why its PathwayConnect program is just $73 per credit in the United States 鈥� and tuition is even lower in other countries.

After completing PathwayConnect鈥檚 three-semester curriculum, 麻豆传媒 who join a BYU-Idaho online degree program keep the same low-cost tuition rate they enjoyed during PathwayConnect. This means a student in the U.S. can earn their bachelor鈥檚 degree entirely online for less than $9,000. That鈥檚 five times less than the average tuition cost of most public universities.

3. Providing a Credible CES Degree in Your Own Home

BYU-Pathway Worldwide makes getting a degree from a CES-accredited university available from your home! As 麻豆传媒 complete PathwayConnect, they are then eligible to begin an online degree program through BYU-Idaho to earn their bachelor鈥檚 degree.

BYU-Pathway 麻豆传媒 have the ability to schedule their schoolwork at a time that fits their busy schedule. Aside from the weekly gatherings for PathwayConnect, the online classes are completely flexible to fit better in your life.

4. Offering Stackable Degrees

BYU-Pathway Worldwide opens the door to stackable degrees , which allow 麻豆传媒 to choose from several different programs and earn three certificates, an associate degree, and a bachelor鈥檚 degree 鈥� all for the same cost and time as it would take to earn just a bachelor鈥檚 degree. This means you can take your education one step at a time. Courses taken for a certificate count toward complementary associate and bachelor鈥檚 degrees as 麻豆传媒 continue their education.

For example, the 14-credit entrepreneurship certificate counts toward the 60-credit applied business management associate degree, which both count toward the complete 120-credit bachelor鈥檚 degree in applied business management.

5. Gathering with Students Near You!

BYU-Pathway Worldwide offers support to PathwayConnect 麻豆传媒 in your local area. Along with online courses, 麻豆传媒 gather at a local institute or church meetinghouse for face-to-face support and friendship. Service missionaries offer support and guidance to 麻豆传媒 throughout their educational journey.

As a result of the weekly gathering, 麻豆传媒 are able to motivate, encourage, and help each other. The gatherings often become a second family for the 麻豆传媒 and become their favorite part of the program.
