Building life-changing pathways.

Pathway is a college-level program designed for students who identify as having an intellectual or developmental diagnosis. It can be completed over 2-3 years as either a part-time commuter or full-time residential student. Participants experience campus life as a part of the Bruin community and, upon completion of the program, are invited to attend the UCLA Extension graduation ceremony at the historic Royce Hall.
