What Our Students Say
Arika Stanley

”I can confidently say that Fast Path was the perfect first step for me with my college education! 8-week courses fly by, and the schedule makes it easier to manage school and work. I had both an advisor and a mentor to guide me. They helped me sign up for the Dual Degree Program at GSU hassle-free!“

”Fast Path is a great choice for me because of the convenient location, accessibility of the staff and the helpfulness of having an individually tailored program. When I was uncertain about my future plans the staff helped me set goals and give me ideas on a career plan so I get started on a career path. I felt very catered to. It's a great opportunity for me. I'm super blessed and lucky to be in the class.“

”My best decision by far was joining the Fast Path program. I was undecided on a career but I wanted to work towards a degree right after high school. Fast Path has a very comfortable atmosphere and my classmates support each other. My mentor helps me with information I don't understand, gives advice as to where to transfer, and checks on my progress. This is my last year before I transfer, and I will really miss it. The KCC South Extension Center feels like home.“

- Lia Rudisill — Current Fast Path Student

”The support I received from the Fast Path mentor and advisor in the program assisted me in developing the skills I needed to be successful in my college classes. I had the opportunity to meet new people and explore career options while staying on track for my degree. Whether you are undecided or have a major in mind, I would recommend Fast Path to earn your transfer degree from KCC. It was the best decision I've ever made for myself.“

”The organization of Fast Path and the caring staff provide a stable educational foundation, and I learned the skills needed to be successful. In 2022 I graduated from Governors State University with a Bachelor's of Arts, majoring in psychology and minoring in dance. I'm now at Ball State University working on a Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis with a specialty in Autism. I wouldn't be where I am today without the continuous support that Fast Path and its staff have been able to provide me for all these years!“

”I chose the Fast Path program because there was a dedicated team to keep students on pace in the program. This gave me structure and direction for my goals. I transferred to Governors State University and earned a Bachelor's of Arts in Criminal Justice. Fast Path continues to help me as I can still reach out and ask for advice, assistance, or reference letter. This program doesn't end when you graduate; it becomes your family and a home base. I highly recommend joining the Fast Path program.“
