Who can benefit from BYU-Pathway?
BYU-Pathway Worldwide can be a wonderful opportunity for any student, but especially for those who lack academic confidence, don’t know what to do after high school or secondary school, or want the flexibility of an online education.
BYU-Pathway helps individuals who want or need more flexibility or who might not do well in a traditional campus experience.
"I wasn’t able to finish high school due to being picked on and bullied because of my Tourette’s and Asperger’s syndrome. BYU-Pathway Worldwide was like a second chance at an education for me... I found myself looking forward to the gatherings each week because the fellowship with your fellow students and the spirit that follows you is worth it."
"One by one, all my friends prepared to attend their dream schools, and I was increasingly afraid that I wouldn’t be able to do the same. I felt left behind and inadequate...BYU‑Pathway helped me win back the confidence I had lost and made me excited for future opportunities."
- This reduced tuition cost continues for a student's entire degree
- Students can also benefit from a

“Being fresh out of high school and not having a lot of money, the affordable price of BYU-Pathway and the guaranteed lower tuition for my online courses appealed to me.” Gabby Marz | Utah, USA
"I am under the autism spectrum. I was nervous about going to school.... BYU-Pathway has helped me develop life skills and strong relationships with my family and friends. The journey, however, took effort. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it." Landon LeBaron | Utah, USA
"My certificates [computer programming] gave me the confidence to perform specific programing skills I needed in my work. Certificates also gave me important milestones to keep me motivated to continue my efforts to the next level. It still amazes me what you get back for the cost. You get so much. That makes me want to try harder." James Clarke | Utah, USA
