Pathways to U.S. Citizenship

Award Type: Cert of Completion

The Pathways to U.S. Citizenship certificate is designed to prepare students for the USCIS citizenship written and oral exams by providing instructions on U.S. government, history, and geography; how the application process works; and what to expect during an official oral interview.
