Pathways to Learning introduces BPATS students to critical and interdisciplinary approaches to liberal arts, research methods, and modes of inquiry. As part of the course, students engage in critical self reflection and learning informed by BPATS four areas of concentration: arts and social engagement; gender and sexuality studies; race and ethnicity; and literature, culture, and democracy. Student learning throughout the course informs the development of a comprehensive, individualized degree plan that charts how (and why) time to degree completion will be used, identifies sites for engagement and continued research that may include an internship, electives, Prior Learning, and Self-Directed Learning. Throughout the course, assignments will also ensure that students become familiar with university resources including the Library and University Learning Center.
