The first year of college can be both exciting and challenging. UNG’s Pathway+ program is designed to help you successfully navigate your first year and map your path toward achieving a bachelor’s degree. Pathway+ associate students on the Oconee and Gainesville campuses have opportunities to explore major programs, enroll in Learning Communities with peers, and take advantage of ready access to support services and first year experience classes that build confidence for the future.
Pathway+ provides coursework that introduces associate students to related major programs under a single heading; for example, the Behavioral Sciences Pathway+ provides a foundation for possible degrees in Criminal Justice, Psychology, Sociology/Social Work, while the Business Pathway+ prepares students to transition to bachelor’s degrees in management, finance, accounting, or marketing.
By selecting a Pathway+, students can explore their interests and identify the major that’s right for them, all while moving forward toward a degree.
Students in Pathway+ are enrolled in paired classes shared with the same group of peers to form Learning Communities. University first-year experience classes, which open the door to the secrets of college success, are also part of the Learning Communities. UNIV 1001, Strategies for Academic Success, is designed to assist you in the mastery of strategies, tools, and habits associated with being successful in college. UNIV 1002, Pathways to Careers, focuses on your future to assist you with the major and career decisions ahead of you.
Learning Communities provide opportunities for students to work closely with their professors and classmates to boost learning and chances of academic success. Finding a study partner has never been easier!
