College Studies

Within the School of Health Sciences and Human Service is the Department of College Studies. The renowned PATHWAYS program is housed with the Department of College Studies and offers a comprehensive one-year enrichment program for students with varying academic and experiential backgrounds who are not quite ready to select and enter one of the College's Baccalaureate or Associate Degree Programs. They view Pathways as, "the starting point for their higher education pursuits."

The Pathways program has served as the home for thousands of students who have become masters of learning technologies; focussing on learning to learn and developing thinking skills for the 21st century; knowing the essence of their learning style, clearly articulating their long range plans and successfully implementing these plans. Our COLLEGE STUDIES/ PATHWAYS students are enjoying careers in medicine, allied health professions, engineering, business administration, business and computer systems, information technologies, teaching, psychology, allied human resource occupations, forensic sciences and police studies, sales and entrepreneur careers.

The Department of College Studies is the "Lighthouse" for student travelers as they begin their journey through the world of higher education and academe. Our esteemed faculty are the beacons for teaching the tools of educational empowerment. Here is the place where students restructure, rethink and reconfigure goals and future plans.
