Higher education faces mounting pressures of cost and access, and BYU-Pathway Worldwide is leading a bold solution: fully accredited three-year bachelor’s degrees available globally for as little as $6,300. My new article on Forbes.com discusses both the BYU Pathway program and the growing momentum for new 3-year degree programs. Building on decades of experimentation with accelerated programs, BYU-Pathway now serves nearly 75,000 students from over 180 countries with flexible online courses, stackable certificates, and a model that combines affordability, employability, and community support. Graduates gain job-ready skills, cross-cultural teamwork experience, and entry into global companies like Amazon and Microsoft. With support from accreditors, state governments, and the College-in-3 movement, BYU-Pathway’s approach signals a reimagined future of higher education—accessible, accelerated, and designed for the realities of today’s learners.
