>> Dear Colleagues,  (sorry for the possible duplicate postings)
>> 
>> We are excited to announce (or remind you of) a new collaboration between Pima Community College and the University of Arizona!
>> 
>> The University of Arizona at Pima Community College (UA at PCC) will begin in fall 2012. This new, pilot program is being offered only to Pima County high school graduates and is a structured, cohort-based pathway towards a baccalaureate degree (2+2). We hope to enroll approximately 100 students in the first year. This first cohort will operate out of the Downtown Campus.
>> 
>> Students from Pima County, who have applied for admission to the University of Arizona, may be eligible for the program after comprehensive review. UA at PCC is designed for students who show great promise in their academics but are not admitted to UA initially. See the attached details for more information.
>> 
>> In our pilot year, we are able to offer admission to a small number of students. Therefore, we are not advertising this opportunity to prospective students nor can students opt-in or apply specifically to UA at PCC. When a student applies to UA, the comprehensive review team will make the determination if the student is a good fit for the program.
>> 
>> We are confident this collaboration will broaden baccalaureate attainment opportunities for students in our county, which is our ultimate goal, and we look forward to launching the University of Arizona at Pima Community College this fall.
>>
