Overview

The Degree Progress Audit (DPA) is the official document used by BYU-Pathway Worldwide to verify that all degree requirements have been met for a specific program version. It allows students to track their progress towards completing their degree.

Transfer Credits: If you submitted college or university credits to a Church Educational System school within the past five years, students are encouraged to check their Degree Progress Audit to confirm whether the credits have already been applied before re-submitting them.

Program Version: Program Version is the term used to refer to a specific credential (certificate or diploma). For example, if you are working toward the Administrative Assistant certificate, you are enrolled in the Administrative Assistant program version.

Building a Degree

• Every degree program starts with a certificate, with every course contributing to the completion of a degree.

• BYU-Pathway's certificate-first structure allows students to earn marketable certificates boosting their employability before finishing a degree. Students earn all of this for the same cost and time as one bachelor’s degree!

• Students are enrolled in both an associate and a bachelor’s degree program.

o An associate degree requires two certificates along with general and religious education courses. Like certificates, associate degrees also build toward a bachelor’s degree.

o A bachelor’s degree includes all the requirements of an associate degree, a third certificate, and additional general and religious education courses.
