Fourth Year Pathway

The College of Sciences - Fourth Year Pathway is a collection of closing experiences, events, and opportunities that prepare students to close their undergraduate chapter here at UTSA. The Fourth Year pathway prepares College of Sciences students for further success beyond graduation.

Each domain of the Fourth Year Pathway allows students to cement and follow their plans after graduation. Through the Career Launcher, Career Readiness, and Mentorship domains, students are pushed to utilize all their skills and connections developed during their past years with the UTSA College of Sciences. This includes asking for Letters of Recommendation, applying to full-time opportunities, and updating profiles to let employers know your plans. By participating in the COS Involvement and Science Pride domains, students are immersed in the UTSA College of Sciences Community to continue developing essential experiences and memories. Through the Road Graduation domain, students will be challenged to recall their time as undergraduate students and create their final plan leading them toward career industry, research, or advanced education. By completing all the domains of the Fourth Year pathway - students will be ready to graduate and distinguish themselves for success.

100% completion of the Fourth Year Pathway allows a student to receive the Fourth Year COS SSC Medal. Students who were able to complete the First Year, Second Year, Third Year, and Fourth Year Pathways of the Four Year Plan will receive this medal to wear during graduation.
