  • June 9, 2026 - Pathway Pillars in Practice: CCTC Advising with Meta Majors - Guided Pathways and Meta Majors give students at rural community colleges a clear, confident route to success. For students balancing school, work, and family, especially first-generation and at-risk learners, clarity matters. Guided Pathways brings purpose from day one, helping students understand their options, connect to support, and stay on track toward real goals. Meta Majors build on that foundation, grouping students into shared academic and career communities where they can learn, grow, and stay motivated together. NIACC has integrated Meta Majors into Concurrent Enrollment advising with CCTCs and their high school partners. These strategies, driven by remarkable student success data, are reshaping concurrent enrollment advising, strengthening career alignment, and closing equity gaps for the high school population. Discover what NIACC implemented Guided Pathways and Meta Major for all students, including concurrent enrollment students, and how these approaches are helping students take meaningful college credits while still in high school.
