Each pathway on this page is a formal agreement between Ithaca College and a partner college or university, built to save you time, stress, and uncertainty. Complete an eligible IC bachelor's degree, meet the required conditions, and you'll earn a streamlined or guaranteed route into a named graduate program — often with added perks like waived standardized tests, individualized advising, and a faster timeline to your degree. The specific majors that qualify, the graduate programs you can enter, and their requirements vary by partner, so look for the details on each pathway below.
Your next degree can start before you even leave Ithaca.
Grad school doesn't have to feel like a leap into the unknown. Through partnerships with select universities, qualifying IC students can earn a direct route into specific graduate programs—finish your degree, meet requirements, and step into what's next.
