PATH Leads You on a Journey of Self-Discovery
Adelphi faculty invite you to experience PATH courses from across many disciplines, empowering you to:
- Understand yourself
- Discover your individual strengths
- Explore our shared world
- Find success in your college career
- Build inclusive and intellectually and socially engaged communities
True to the spirit of PATH, you can take these general education courses at any time during your college journey.
Your Capstone Project
Your capstone project is your final step on PATH and gives you the opportunity to bring together everything you have learned into a significant piece of intellectual work. It might be a research project, a policy paper, a piece of art, a business you invent, an app you develop or anything at all that demonstrates your learning. You will need to complete a capstone project, individually or as a team, and share it with your class as a requirement for graduation.
We want our students to reimagine their place within the community. What is possible for you? What is out there for you? We want you to discover new ways of thinking about yourself in the world.
