The Savior Jesus Christ established His Church, which transcended the traditions and beliefs of the day. Above all, He lived a perfect mortal life, atoned for our sins, and was resurrected, pioneering an eternal plan for our happiness.

Being a pioneer means courageously stepping into the unknown to prepare a way for others. BYU-Pathway Worldwide pioneers across the globe connect online each day and work toward educational goals that bless their families and communities. Through BYU-Pathway鈥檚 unique approach to higher education, students are creating a global ripple effect of faith, opportunity, and generational change.

The first in their families

In 2025, BYU-Pathway served nearly 89,000 students in 180 countries, many of whom are the first in their family to pursue higher education. Alina Ambariani, a first-generation university student from the country of Georgia, never believed she could earn a degree. Finding BYU-Pathway was an educational, professional, and spiritual turning point.

鈥淓ducation changed my life,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t opened doors and opportunities for me and my family.鈥�

When Alina鈥檚 husband unexpectedly passed away, her remote job allowed her to care for her young daughter, Anamaria, while continuing her bachelor鈥檚 degree in applied business management. Today, she helps others in her country access the opportunities that changed her life.

Through Alina鈥檚 hard work and BYU-Pathway, Anamaria is growing up with the blessings and opportunities of a Church education.

鈥淚 am providing for my family, and I can be a good example for my daughter 鈥� to show her that education is important,鈥� Alina said.

Ale Angulo, a Costa Rican native who moved to New Jersey, USA, when she was 12, has also seen blessings from being the first graduate in her family.

鈥淎 lot of people told me I would never go to college,鈥� she said. 鈥淸BYU-Pathway] gave me the opportunity. It not only equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary for professional advancement but also fostered a deep connection to my faith.鈥�

Strengthening spiritual foundations

Jimmy Abwao from Kenya was not a member of the Church when a friend invited him to enroll in BYU-Pathway, in which students take both academic and religion courses centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jimmy was deeply touched by what he was learning and chose to be baptized and receive his temple endowment. He never dreamed of the impact education would have on him.

鈥淢y life today is a new chapter,鈥� he said. 鈥淢aking covenants with our Heavenly Father is a great blessing.鈥�

For Malakai Koroilagilagi, a branch president, husband, and father of two from Fiji, BYU-Pathway became a source of spiritual strength: 鈥淏YU-Pathway fed my soul. The spiritual foundation made all the difference.鈥�

In June 2025, Malakai and his family were sealed in the Suva Fiji Temple 鈥� an experience he says he will cherish for the rest of his life. He also serves as a career coach for youth and a part-time service missionary and never misses an opportunity to share BYU-Pathway with others.

鈥淏YU-Pathway changed everything,鈥� Malakai said. 鈥淚t can lift you higher than you ever imagined. You don鈥檛 just leave with a [degree]; you leave with purpose.鈥�

Higher education with a higher purpose

Inspired by its pioneering students, BYU-Pathway continues to develop ways for more people to receive the blessings of higher education, starting with an educational model that鈥檚 innovative, globally scalable, and rooted in the gospel.

BYU-Pathway in Portuguese

In October 2025, BYU-Pathway launched a limited release of two bachelor鈥檚 degrees 鈥� applied business management and software development 鈥� in Portuguese in Brazil. Enrollment is anticipated to open to all interested students in Brazil later in 2026. This historic multi-language offering is making a gospel-centered education possible for many who otherwise wouldn鈥檛 have the opportunity.

Dalila da Silva Miguel from S茫o Paulo, one of the first students to take software development courses in Portuguese, said, 鈥淚 have always wanted to study at [a Church school], but I do not speak English fluently and cannot afford to live in another country. With BYU-Pathway, I will have access to find more job opportunities, increase my salary, and become better prepared for the job market.鈥�

Three-year degrees leading to jobs

BYU-Pathway provides access to cost-effective and time-saving degrees through its partnerships with BYU-Idaho and Ensign College, the first accredited institutions in the United States to offer three-year bachelor鈥檚 degrees .

Additionally, BYU-Pathway continued partnering with a variety of employers in 2025 to connect students with local and remote jobs. Interstride, a specialized global career platform, also significantly expanded students鈥� access to job and internship postings in more than 150 countries.

Hazel Gomez from the Philippines is one of the first BYU-Pathway students to complete a three-year bachelor鈥檚 degree, which helped her land a job as a senior marketing supervisor.

鈥淢y education has made a huge difference in my career,鈥� she said. 鈥淢y studies not only gave me the skills I needed but also the confidence and courage to take on new challenges.鈥�

A future marked by opportunity

Jeffrey R. Holland, who served as Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, once met an expecting couple in Nigeria who named their new baby after him. Jeffrey Holland Oti, now in eighth grade, has grown up taking advantage of educational opportunities provided by the Church in Nigeria and has a path to affordable higher education because of BYU-Pathway.
