About Bay Path University:

From the beginning, Bay Path prided itself on being entrepreneurial, constantly pushing the boundaries of the academic experience to fit the student…to start them on the road of success. That spirit and philosophy is best reflected in our shared vision, “At Bay Path, every learner’s dreams of a better career, a richer life, and a brighter future will be realized.”
