BYU-Pathway Worldwide Reviews

29 reviews

My experience with BYU pathways has been incredable. The support that is offered is unmatched I'm sure by other universatities! Along with there support for me to reach my educational goals, they also are very affordable. The lessons are structured in a comprehensible way of learning and I feel I've grown alot in my education while being apart of, BYU pathways programs.

I've been a student at BYU-Pathway Worldwide and my experience i really like about it is the flexibility it offers. The online format allows me to balance my studies with other commitments, making it accessible for people with busy schedules.
The support from instructors and advisors has been helpful too. They are responsive and genuinely care about the success of the students. The PathwayConnect program, in particular, provides a solid foundation for higher education and career advancement.
However, there are a few areas I'd like to see improvement in. One is the course variety; while they offer a good range of programs, expanding the selection would benefit students with more specific career goals. Additionally, more scholarship opportunities would be greatly appreciated to make education more affordable.
BYU-Pathway Worldwide has been a great choice for me, and I would recommend it to others seeking a flexible and faith-based education option.

I feel that BYUI online/Pathway did a great job preparing me for grad school. Pathway was easy but the rest of the program had pretty high standards. However, I felt the school lacked school spirit and the ability to network. I also didn’t have many opportunities other than school work. There were no school clubs, activities, or research opportunities for online students.

Review BYU-Pathway Worldwide

I don’t recommend this program. They are extremely unorganized. There is no one to contact. I was supposed to graduate last semester but they screwed me over and didn’t tell me I needed more electives. You can’t pick your classes out and they often times have many errors with the system. They are trying to have me take classes that do not go with my major at all and I can’t change them. This is an extremely awful and unorganized school. The only good thing about it are the teachers. The teachers are amazing, but you will go through hell registering for courses and using their programs.

Love the spiritual aspect of it and the affordability! Resources are available to help if you know where to look. Would definitely recommend for those who are looking for an easier curriculum, but for those looking to pursue an intellectually challenging or rigorous education, it may not be the best option long-term, but short-term it is still great to earn some credits at an easy pace.

I want to give a full review of this program. I have attended other universities and have some expectations that other students may not have.

Pros:
- Very affordable
- Offers educational opportunities to students worldwide.
- Instructors are responsive to questions and give helpful feedback.
- Most of my courses were well written and easy to learn from.
- Accept transfer credits liberally

Cons:
- Unexperienced advisors, they seem to know less than I did about the curriculum.
- No way to talk to a live person without setting up an appointment.
- Initializing an appointment is done through bot chat.
- Appointments too far out.
- Scheduling is limited by beta Degree Planner
- No way to give feedback on scheduling experience.
- No way to request a course term open up additional seats.

This is a great program, but it would be amazing if they can work out some of the issues with advising, registration and support. Highly recommend, but be prepared to work around some of the challenges.

At first it was hard to get ahold of a live person because of the confusion between BYU-Idaho and it's non-affiliation with Pathways. But now I have it figured out.

I love the small nature of PYU Pathway Worldwide. I am not in a huge class. I have the opportunity to see and discuss with my classmates in a very intimate setting.

There has never been a bigger pain in my butt than trying to register for classes, especially as a transfer student. It automatically generates classes for you and if you want different classes than what it gives you, be prepared to spend HOURS trying to figure out how to get the classes you want. Also, the support is TERRIBLE. I emailed about wanting to talk to support on the phone and they reached out to me twice asking when I was available but then they never called me when I said I was or answered my phone calls or emails. It’s been weeks. It’s dirt cheap but honestly next semester I think I’ll switch to a different online university because I don’t think it’s worth it to have to deal with this. To be clear I haven’t taken any classes yet so in that area I have no opinion

I have never felt alone while going to this school. Even though I am an online student, I have so many ways to receive help. The price is very affordable. I would recommend this school to everyone.

It’s a great experience and the instructors are really amazing. It’s a great way to get into school if you haven’t been in a while or just starting. Would recommend.

This program is awesome! It is easy to keep up with even if you have a very busy work or family life. It only takes a couple hours each week, one of those being a gathering with others in your same program. It is such an uplifting and spiritual time to discuss the spiritual aspect of the lesson that week as well as the assignments. One thing I loved is that there is always someone to help if you have any questions! I enjoyed my experience with BYU Pathway worldwide very much!

Pathways is a good opportunity to take classes on both life skills and religion. It is cheap classes and has quality lessons for people from all walks of life.

It has allowed me with the opportunity to jump start my education at a such affordable price. It has also provided me with such an incredibly supporting community who are truly invested in my success.

It really is a really great school experience. The support features and advising help has gotten me through all kinds of different registration problems and tech issues. The schooling itself is great as well. There aren't a lot of degrees available, but if they have one you are interested in, it is very worth it. The tuition is dirt cheap, the instructors are extremely helpful, and it's the kind of schooling where you can easily hold down a full-time job, raise a family, or just do it on the side. I really can't speak highly enough of it.

It is spiritually uplifting as well as a good education. They go over everything you learned before in High school and help prepare you for college courses. It is a preparation for college courses. You get to choose 1 in 4 degrees. You could also customize your degree. You take your college courses for your degree from BYU Idaho, or Ensign college depending on what degree you choose. If you need a refresher on math and english this is a great path to go. They also teach you how to use excel. This also is a cheap way to go to school online, is very flexible, and focused on God, and his teachings.

It has been a very good experience that has helped me explore my interests and prepare me for admittance into BYU Idaho.

Review BYU-Pathway Worldwide

BYU Pathway is SUPER nice, it is all about your pace and they have amazing resources to help you along the way when you get stuck or are having trouble. The people are amazing and are always there to support you! There's only one class that is required for you to attend, however that class is very flexible and the people are very understanding and helpful.

BYU Pathways is a great online option for non-traditional and returning students. You can build an applied bachelor's degree with certificates related to your major. The teachers are always kind and willing to help any way they can so you can have a successful college experience.

The experience of attending BYU Pathway Worldwide is unique. So far, I’ve only completed the PathwayConnect program, but it has changed my life. It integrated spiritual and secular learning, giving me the skills and preparation I needed to be successful in reaching my goals.
