Connect2NAU encourages community college students to complete both an associate’s and bachelor’s degree, emphasizing the importance of earning a bachelor’s degree in order to increase their competitiveness in the workforce.
Connect2NAU students are jointly admitted to a community college and NAU. Students receive intensive guidance from both institutions in exploring and preparing for career options while completing their community college curriculum. Students save money by completing their first two years at the community college tuition rate.
“These students clearly see the benefits of beginning their college careers closer to home in an environment that is supportive and affordable,” said Fred Hurst, senior vice president of the Extended Campuses at NAU. “The Connect2NAU approach serves students and the state by making a four-year degree more attainable.”
In addition, Connect2NAU students receive a waived NAU application fee, an NAU ID card, e-mail address, Cline Library privileges, and more. Students who complete their associate’s degree with a 3.5 GPA or better qualify for an NAU scholarship for up to $4,000.
The program recently won a statewide award for helping students earn college degrees. The Arizona College Access Network, a program of the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education, presented a 2011 Pathways to Postsecondary Education Award to NAU in November.
