The Professional Pathway Credential is a 30-credit-hour credential designed to prepare students for success in both college and the workforce. It includes accredited college courses across multiple disciplines that fulfill general education requirements common to most degree paths, expanding early college access while maintaining academic rigor and a biblical worldview.
 
Students who complete this credential of value also take an important step toward earning Indiana’s new Enrollment Honors Plus and Employment Honors Plus diploma seals—recognized distinctions within the state’s updated high school diploma.
 
All credits earned through the Professional Pathway Credential are fully transferable among participating partner institutions—Anderson University, Bethel University, Grace College, Huntington University, Indiana Wesleyan University, and Taylor University—giving students a strong start to college-level work.

How to Earn Your 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. Credits earned through the Professional Pathway Credential may or may not count toward major or degree requirements.
