About Bay Path University:

When Bay Path opened its doors to students in 1897, it had a very clear goal: to provide a practical, affordable, and career-oriented education to prepare students to not only meet the needs of companies, organizations, and communities but to also thrive in their professions, identify and realize their dreams, and make a lasting difference in the world. From the beginning, Bay Path prided itself on being entrepreneurial, constantly pushing the boundaries of the academic experience to fit the student...to start them on the road of success. That spirit and philosophy is best reflected in our shared vision, "At Bay Path, every learner's dreams of a better career, a richer life, and a brighter future will be realized."

Recognizing that our learners come first, we know it is equally important that we develop, cultivate, and sustain a culture that binds us together as a community. As part of the University's ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, we draw upon our eight Core Values-beliefs that provide the internal framework and a moral compass for how we work and interact with each other.

Bay Path University, an independent and not-for-profit institution, was named Among Fastest Growing Baccalaureate Colleges and Graduate Programs by The Chronicle of Higher Education Almanac, and is a member of the Women's College Coalition. With a main campus in Longmeadow, MA, and a satellite location in East Longmeadow, MA, Bay Path offers undergraduate, graduate (for women and men) degrees, and professional certificates.

For 125 years, we have been committed to preparing our students to navigate a constantly changing world. Whether it is one of our innovative academic programs, groundbreaking online learning platform, or We Empower Learners and Leaders initiative, we educate our students in ways that will help them to grow, learn to adapt, and always to flourish. Be part of the change. Be Bay Path.

The goal of FIPSE-IREPO Grant Dual Enrollment Program is to expand educational opportunities and college-readiness for low-income and disadvantaged high school students by designing and implementing a Dual Enrollment program targeting low-income and historically underserved students in public school districts situated in federal Opportunity Zones.

Course Description:

WEL170 is a 3-credit hybrid dual enrollment college class. The curriculum builds leadership and self-efficacy skills through engagement with the local community on a 20-hour funded social action internship project. Students will apply social science concepts such as identity, intersectionality, power, leadership, and social change to their own personal lives while exploring the ways that these concepts can also better help them understand the experience of people within their communities. Opportunities will be built into the class for students to assess their strengths, to reflect on their goals, to envision themselves as leaders, to articulate and advocate for their needs, and to create meaningful personal and career action plans using tools such as the Self-Directed Search Career Assessment and Gallup Clifton Strengths Assessment. Special emphasis is also placed on emotional intelligence skills - such as grit, resilience, fixed and open mindset, and balance - which are critical for academic, personal, and professional success.
