Breaking News: New national study highlights Pathway’s success
Pathway to the Baccalaureate is a consortium of ten educational institutions in Northern Virginia -- K-12 public school systems, Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) and George Mason University – who have joined forces to provide a web of support to students as they make the transition from high school, through NOVA to George Mason or another university. Pathway has emerged as an award-winning program model that has demonstrated remarkable outcomes in the areas of college access, success and completion.
A 2010 case study by the New America Foundation, Pathway to the Baccalaureate: How one community college is helping underprepared students succeed, hails Pathway’s “promising outcomes.”
