Additional Navigation
The TAWC We Empower Learners and Leaders (WELL) Program will give you the tools you need to transform your career through targeted leadership development.
This signature leadership program is found only at Bay Path University and The American Women's College. A journey in self-discovery, this program is built into the curriculum for all students, and the transformation our students experience is truly remarkable.
By the end of the 3-course WELL program, you will understand who you are as a leader, know how to brand and advocate for yourself, and demonstrate your leadership strengths through real-life examples. Courses are carefully curated to meet the needs of all of our adult students returning to school, regardless of where you are in your professional development.
In addition to the WELL program leadership courses, we also offer a comprehensive suite of cutting-edge career development resources, including one-on-one career and salary negotiation coaching, for both students and alumnae.
