apprenticeships, capstone design projects, andinternships, are offered as part of the ADVANCE model. The ultimate goal of the degreepathway model that ADVANCE offers is to ensure that students are prepared for post-baccalaureate employment and success in the workplace. ADVANCE seeks to ensure that whatstudents learn and experience in their educational journey reflects workforce realities. Mappeddegree pathways that integrate industry-defined credentials and standards will leave noambiguity for students regarding desired workforce competencies. By building in immersiveexperiential learning opportunities, students will better understand workplace expectations andprepare to transition successfully upon graduation.As ADVANCE students progress through their
