Minnesota State Guided Learning Pathways
Minnesota State Guided Learning Pathways is a student-centered framework for Equity 2030 that outlines effective practices in academic and student support program design and delivery to effectively engage and support each student from their initial connection with our faculty and staff through their educational journey to attainment.
Minnesota State Guided Learning Pathways is a key principle in the Academic and Student Affairs division.
Minnesota State Guided Learning Pathways is based on the premise that students are more likely to complete a degree or credential if they:
- choose a program early on;
- have an academic plan that provides a roadmap of courses needed to complete their degree; and
- receive the support and guidance they need to persist.
