Competency-Based Learning

Navigating the college admissions process and finding the right fit for post-secondary education requires students to weave together their interests, experiences, and coursework in telling their own unique story. To better support schools in amplifying interest-based course offerings to students, GOA has launched eight Learning Pathways and a Pathway Certification.
