Why Guided Pathways?

Welcome to Southwestern’s Guided Pathways page. Southwestern has been working for several years to implement Guided Pathways for our students. Through this redesign of how we interact with students, our goal is to connect early with our students to set academic goals that take them directly to the careers that fit their needs. Once they are on that path, this system supports them every step of the way with strong advising and individualized educational supports to ensure their success.
