PathwayU Information for Faculty
PathwayU is an online platform to guide students to purpose when making critical choices about education, career, and employment. Patented predictive analytics have shown students who complete PathwayU have higher GPAs, are more likely to persist in their academic and career programs, are better able to communicate their career goals, are less stressed about identifying their career options and have more confidence in their ability to make career decisions. PathwayU is a game changer for our institution and our students, having measurable positive impacts on retention, student attitudes, and performance.
It takes about 20-25 minutes for students to complete the assessment. They are then able to learn more about themselves from their results and explore their career matches.
PathwayU assesses interests, personality, values, and workplace preferences. This information helps students learn about their preferred environments, communication with others, and other important factors when considering a career path. Explanation of results and guidance on next steps is provided.
This assessment offers a faculty notification feature which will allow you to verify student completion. Â
