Start with the next credential
A student finishing high school may apply to college or university. A student with a bachelor's degree may apply to postgraduate college programs, applied master's programs, or university master's degrees.
Common pathways
- High school diploma to college diploma or university bachelor's degree
- College diploma to a bachelor's degree when transfer requirements are met
- Bachelor's degree to postgraduate certificate, applied master's, or university master's
- Master's degree to PhD where research fit and supervisor requirements are met
Why pathway planning matters
Some routes are direct, while others depend on grades, prerequisites, transfer agreements, or program-specific rules. Planning ahead prevents dead ends.
