Transgender Admissions Policy

Bay Path University empowers undergraduate women to become leaders in their careers and communities with an innovative approach to learning that prepares students to flourish in a constantly changing world.

We are a community that values diversity and inclusion. Committed to respecting the dignity of each individual, we acknowledge that traditional definitions of gender continue to evolve.
