Pathway certificates take a cross-disciplinary approach to incorporate the spirit of the general education curriculum, with a focus on specific themes, concepts, and content areas.  Each pathway is 12 credits, 9 of which must come from Gen Ed courses with different prefixes.   Pathways provide students with additional opportunities to apply information and learning approaches across multiple disciplines. Pathway certificates are completed at the student’s discretion and do not take the place of other general education requirements.

When registering for classes, students are asked to select if they are planning to be enrolled part-time or full-time.

• Full-Time: Any undergraduate student planning to enroll in 12 or more credits
• Part-Time: Any undergraduate student planning to enroll in less than 12 credits

If you accidentally selected full-time status or later decide to change to part-time status, you can do so by contacting the

Registrar's Office.
