Academic Results
INTO OSUs former Pathway students who have progressed to their secondyear of study at the university are affirming the mission of the Pathway
program ensuring student success.
The Pathway program prepared me for
success. I am now attending OSU and I know
how to make a plan for every class. Even
though my classes are higher level now, its
basically using the same skills but with different
material. I know how to study now. And Ilearned everything from the Pathway program.
