Professional Pathway Program

Professional Pathway Program

The Professional Pathway Program is a 30-credit-hour opportunity designed to help students take confident steps toward college and their future careers. Through accredited courses in key academic disciplines, students complete foundational general education requirements while experiencing the academic excellence and Christ-centered perspective that define our partner institutions.

Participation in this program also positions students to earn Indiana’s new Enrollment Honors Plus and Employment Honors Plus diploma seals—valuable distinctions that recognize students who pursue advanced preparation for life after high school.

All credits earned through the Professional Pathway Program transfer seamlessly to our partnering Christian colleges: Anderson University, Bethel University, Huntington University, Indiana Wesleyan University, and Taylor University. Together, these institutions are committed to providing students with a strong academic foundation, greater flexibility as they explore their calling, and a meaningful head start on their college journey.


How You Earn the Credential

Students are required to complete a minimum of two courses from each of the three skills components to reach the 30-credit total needed to earn the Professional Pathway Credential. Please note: High school students are not eligible for financial aid but receive a significant discount through our dual enrollment program. Credits earned through the Professional Pathway Credential may or may not count toward major or degree requirements. Be sure to consult your academic advisor to understand how these credits may apply to your chosen field of study.
