BYU-Pathway Worldwide Opens its First Global Education Center in the Philippines

BYU-Pathway Worldwide, an online higher education institution sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is pleased to announce the opening of its new Global Education Center in Cebu City, Philippines. To commemorate the occasion, BYU-Pathway hosted a forum event on Feb. 8, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Cebu Temple Complex. The event was open to all enrolled BYU-Pathway students, invited government officials, and media representatives.

This new center is the first of its kind in the Philippines to offer a campus-style environment to students enrolled in BYU-Pathway. Inside the center, students will have access to hands-on training, remote workstations, interview practice rooms, career preparation resources, English language classes, and collaborative study spaces.

"We are excited to celebrate this historic moment with the community of Cebu City as we open BYU-Pathway's first Global Education Center in the Philippines," said Brian K. Ashton, president of BYU-Pathway Worldwide.

"This center is more than just a space; it's a place that will empower students to accomplish their academic, career, and personal goals, while bringing them closer to Jesus Christ and making them better members of their communities."

Through partnership with accredited universities in the United States, BYU-Idaho and Ensign College, BYU-Pathway provides access to online bachelor's degrees that can be completed in just three years, significantly reducing the cost and time required.
