Affordable and Accessible: Online Degrees for Everyone

The definition of a ‘student’ today has evolved. While traditional students go straight from high school to college, some choose to take a different path. They might take a break from education to work or travel, or start their college journey later in life. Online education has made it easier and far more convenient for non-traditional students to earn their degrees while pursuing other goals. Many institutions provide 100% online degree programs to make higher education affordable and accessible to all.

The University of Arizona Global Campus (UAGC) is one such national online institution largely committed to supporting adult learners to meet their higher education goals.
