MARICOPA, Ariz. (AP) — A Pennsylvania-based college is offering Maricopa residents a chance to earn a bachelor's degree.
The Casa Grande Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/YlpkEi) that Maricopa officials and Albright College have announced an accelerated degree completion program.
The program will consist of three areas of study — applied psychology, business administration and information systems. It will be aimed toward non-traditional students who also work.
Maricopa officials say residents need more local higher education choices.
Central Arizona College opened a campus in the area last year. Albright has already agreed on a transfer process for interested CAC students.
Albright is a private institution affiliated with the United Methodist Church and based in Reading, Pennsylvania. The school has 10 satellite campuses across the country, including one in Mesa.
