Study online
Pathify Online is a way to study, not a place
Two thousand nine hundred students take Pathify degrees without coming to a campus. The degree is the same degree, taught by the same 2,410 full-time faculty.
What Pathify Online is
Not a fourth campus, and not a separate institution
The university has three campuses: Riverbend, Northgate and Pathify Health. Pathify Online is not one of them. It is the delivery route for students who take their degree without attending a campus, and it has no address, no buildings and no venues of its own.
The distinction matters because it changes nothing about the award. Online students are admitted by the same offices, taught by the same faculty, assessed against the same requirements and given the same degree certificate. Nothing on a transcript records which route a student took.
What Pathify Online does have is a student body: 2,900 people, which would make it the third largest of the four entries if it were a campus. They come from across the 96 countries the current student body is drawn from, and a substantial share are already working.

How studying online at Pathify works
Online students follow the same academic calendar and the same admission process as everyone else. Five things are different in practice.
You apply through the same office
There is no separate online application and no separate fee. Admissions reviews online applicants against the same requirements as on-campus applicants.
You enrol in a standard term
Fall and spring terms run to the published academic calendar , with the same start dates, breaks and examination weeks.
Teaching is delivered remotely
Coursework, lectures and materials are delivered through the university’s learning environment and reached through MyPathify.
Assessment matches the on-campus degree
Assignments, examinations and grading standards are set by the same departments that teach the on-campus version of the course.
You graduate with the same degree
Degrees are conferred on the same dates and the award is identical. December 18 and May 15 are the conferral dates for 2026–27.
What is available through Pathify Online
Graduate and professional programs
The larger share of online enrolment sits at graduate level, drawn from the 210 graduate programs the university runs.
Undergraduate degree completion
Students who have credit from elsewhere can finish an undergraduate degree online, subject to the same transfer review as on-campus transfers.
Library and support access
Online students hold full borrowing rights at Hollis Main, the Northgate Arts Library and the Health Sciences Library, and can use the career fair.
