What are Career & Academic Pathways?

Pathways are designed to help guide you in completing the appropriate courses in the appropriate degree or certificate program, leading to the career or goal you wish to obtain. In many ways, selecting your major or certificate program is a backward process. We recommend spending time thinking about your ultimate goal or career you wish to obtain and from there discovering the academic path you will need to follow. By understanding your career pathway, you can ensure you are on the correct academic pathway to reaching that goal. The Career Pathways at Coastline College include:
