Learning Outcomes

From broad-based discussions within the Bay Path community, we were able to distinguish the learning experiences for each student that defines our unique approach to education. We call them Bay Path’s thumbprint. Those thumbprint attributes are directly linked to institutional learning outcomes that shape a student’s core values and knowledge—a foundation that ensures lifelong personal and professional success.
