What is the University Rigor Pathway?

The Next Step Department aims to support your post-graduation journey toward continuing your education at the rigorous college level and earning a bachelors degree. You expressed to your mentor your interest in attending a 4-year college or university. This is a big goal so we made a note of it and can now share valuable information to help you meet this goal!

Within the "University Rigor" pathway we:

• Offer programs, and support in person and virtually to explore the requirements and process of applying to and paying for university.

• Provide tools and resources to help you prepare and strategize the advanced work that leads to university admissions.

• Prioritize your time by delivering only targeted information specific to your chosen pathway.

• Send a dedicated monthly newsletter with tips, tricks, and opportunities.

• Give one-on-one career coaching with the Next Step Career Department team.
