Overview
The Pinellas Access to Higher Education (PATHe) program is a collaborative effort between the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg campus and St. Petersburg College. The goal of the PATHe program 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. And, we support students who decide to attend college locally through our 2+2 program. Students are able to start at SPC and transfer into USF, St. Petersburg campus with the support and guidance from a PATHe Counselor until they graduate with their bachelor’s degree.
