Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
Since the inception of the guided pathways model in 2015, most related research has focused on the interconnecting processes and practices that lead to student persistence and completion.

Opportunities exist to redesign the financial aid system so that the current guided pathways movement …

Ed.D. Dissertations in Practice
Objective: This article addresses a problem of practice in community college leadership: how to effectively use change management strategies to implement a guided pathways model at a community college.

Methods: We conducted interviews with national consultants, state system leaders, and college leaders around the country who have effectively …
