Integrated Academic Credits

All PATHS programs provide students with academic, career, technical, and employability skills and knowledge. A student that successfully completes a PATHS program can earn suggested academic credit based on the program; however, these credits must be approved by sending schools through planning and working with their sending school counselor.

All credits towards graduation are determined and awarded by sending schools. Contact sending school counselors for more information.

College Credits

PATHS offers tuition free college courses taught by our instructors who have been approved by the sponsoring college. College credits and a transcript are awarded immediately upon satisfactory completion of the course. Credits may be used towards a degree at the sponsored college or applied for transfer credit to another college.

Students must enroll by the given deadline provided by the instructor and college. A failing grade in the college course will result in a fail mark on students' college transcript should they continue on to that institution.

Industry Certifications

PATHS programs are designed for students to earn industry third-party certifications of value which are recognized by business and industry at the local, state or national level. Industry certificates measure competency in an occupation, and they validate the knowledge base and skills that show mastery in a particular industry. Earning a nationally recognized certification boosts a student’s employability, as well as options for postsecondary education.

Attendance and performance may affect students’ ability to sit for third-party certifications and is up to the instructor discretion.
