Pinellas Access to Higher Education

Overview

Pinellas Access to Higher Education (PATHe) is a collaborative effort between the University of South Florida St. Petersburg campus and St. Petersburg College (SPC). The goal of PATHe is to increase the number of Pinellas County residents receiving education beyond high school.

We support Pinellas County through outreach by partnering with local schools and community organizations to provide individuals and families with up-to-date information on college preparation and planning. We support students who decide to attend college locally through our SPC to USF St. Petersburg program. Students are able to start at SPC and transfer to the University of South Florida St. Petersburg campus with the support and guidance from a PATHe Advisor until they graduate with their Bachelor’s degree.

Join PATHe to achieve your ultimate goal of graduating from USF!
