• The degree sequence refers to the order in which students will complete the requirements for their degree. ​

• All degrees have the same basic sequence, or order, in which requirements will be completed.​

• The basic sequence for all degrees is as follows:​

• C1 – First certificate​

• C2 – Second certificate​

• AR – Associate religion courses​

• AG – Associate general courses​

NOTE: C2, AR, and AG courses will be completed together after the completion of C1.​

• I – Internship or CC – Core Courses​

NOTE:  The ONLY time an internship requirement is completed before the C3 is when it is part of the associate degree requirements. This happens in the Applied Business Management degree on catalogs 2019-2022.​

At this point, students will have completed the associate portion of their degree​

• C3 – Third certificate​

• BR – Bachelor religion courses​

• BG – Bachelor general courses​

NOTE: C3, BR, and BG courses will be completed together after completion of all associate requirements​

• I – Internship or CC – Core Courses​

NOTE: Most degrees have an internship or core courses requirement here. These can be completed along with the C3.​

• E – Electives​

NOTE: Any needed electives will be taken at the very end of the degree. Electives are usually used for these reasons:​

• To get the student to the required 120 credits in a traditional bachelors degree​

• To fulfill the needed 30 upper-division credits in traditional bachelor degrees and three-year degrees​

• To account for transfer credits the student has from a previous institution

• While the basic sequence is the same for all degrees, internships and core courses may be in a different spot depending on the degree and catalog year.

​

Below is an example of the internship and Core Courses requirement changing from the 2022 to the 2024 catalog years.​​

• Some degrees have an internship requirement. To fulfill the Internship requirements, students will take Project Courses and Capstones related to the major they chose, so they can learn by experience and study.​

• Starting on the 2024-2026 catalog year, class projects equivalent to the internship became the preferred course for students to meet the internship requirement​

• Beginning in January 2025, internships will no longer be an available option for BYU-Pathway students. All students will need to complete the listed class project to fulfill the internship requirement. These are listed as "Core Courses" in the degree sequence.​

​

• Students in the 2019 – 2023 catalog years are required to take elective credits to fulfill the 120-credit requirement. ​

• Students in the 2024-2026 catalog year are not required to take elective courses due to the introduction of the three-year degrees that you learned about earlier in the training.​

Students do not choose which courses to take as part of their degree requirements. As a student selects their degree and certificates, their courses will be automatically planned and sequenced through each term and school year. These courses will include certificate, general education, religion, and program requirement courses.

• Enrollment Program Configuration

The Degree Progress Audit(DPA) is the official document used by BYU-Pathway Worldwide to verify that all requirements have been completed for a specific program version of a student’s degree. 

• The Degree Progress Audit should not be used as a planning tool but is available to view in the student portal and allows students to track their progress towards completing their degree.

Program Version 

Program Version is the term used to refer to a specific credential (certificate or diploma). For example, if you are working towards the Administrative Assistant certificate, you are enrolled in the Administrative Assistant program version. 

• Students are enrolled in both an associate and a bachelor’s degree program. Each associate and bachelor’s degree are made up of program versions that outline the courses required to complete that program version for graduation. 

• Students can submit their transcripts from other institutions during the application process to be evaluated as  transfer credits. These credits will likely fulfill some degree requirements.​

​

• Residency credits are credits earned directly from BYU-Pathway Worldwide.​

• Students are required to complete a minimum of 30 residency credit hours (15 for an Associate's Degree).​

​

• Upper-division credits are (300 or 400-level courses)​

• Students are required to complete 30 upper-division credits, 15 of which need to be in residency with BYU-Pathway Worldwide. Associate degrees do not require a minimum number of upper-division credits.
