Make Your Own Future.

There is more than one path to earning a bachelor's degree.

The Exploratory Pathways Program (EPP) from UMass Amherst’s UWW helps you take that tough first step. Start with online courses and choose whether to finish your degree online or apply to study on campus. You can even transfer credits to another university.

Championing new approaches and breaking down traditional barriers to education, UWW strives to provide revolutionary access to all learners.

How does EPP work?
