Guided Pathways is an evidence-based, comprehensive redesign that helps students identify their educational and career goals, determine their needs, and then chart a clear, coherent pathway to timely goal completion. Students begin their pathway by taking courses shared among broadly related areas of study, allowing for early career exploration, contextualized learning, and meaningful connections. Guided Pathways provides a holistic learning experience that includes intentionally sequenced courses, predictable schedules, recognizable milestones, and ongoing integrated support services.

Embracing guided pathways calls for reconsideration of our long held beliefs, deliberate culture change, and evolution of well established policies and practices—a daunting yet exciting endeavor.
