ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Pathways

At Laramie County Community College, we’ve reimagined student success through eight clearly defined Pathways—from Agriculture & Equine to Trades & Technical Studies. Each Pathway maps programs to career and transfer outcomes, offering students:

  • An opportunity to explore career opportunities available in a Pathway, before having to select a program
  • Course sequencing that aligns with all programmatic areas in a Pathway, minimizing unnecessary courses/credits
  • A clear path to degree completion

Why Pathways?

  1. Clarify the Path: ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ has ensured that all programs lead to a transfer or career through establishing critical courses, embedded credentials, and progress milestones
  2. Helping Students Get on the Path: We ensure every student starts strong with first-year experiences to explore career fields, while providing complete program plans with career/transfer exploration 
  3. Supporting Students to Stay on the Path: ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ keeps students moving forward through proactive advising, including early alerts and support for students throughout their academic journey
  4. Ensuring Students Are Learning: We enrich learning with program-specific outcomes that encourage applied learning and project-based, collaborative experiences.

Investing in Student Success:

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Foundation is building Pathway Endowments to support students and programs across all eight Pathways. Donors may choose a Pathway to support. 

These endowments provide annual funding to:

  • Support experiential learning and applied engagement opportunities
  • Assist with program development and enhancements 
  • Create opportunities for additional equipment and training
  • Match grant funds  

The Goal: 

Have all Pathway Endowments valued at $500,000 by December 2027.

Your investment fuels innovation, strengthens high impact programs, and opens doors for students who are preparing to lead Wyoming’s future.

Every gift to a Pathway Endowment becomes part of a permanent legacy—one that grows, supports, and inspires year after year.
