Dear Colleagues, 

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. 

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.

More details about the cohort, their activities, advising and more are
forthcoming. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Mary Venezia.
Her direct line is 520.621.8796, or by email
<mailto:venezia at email.arizona.edu> venezia at email.arizona.edu. Mary is happy
and willing to answer your questions and share more information about the
program.

 

Thank you!

Kasey Urquidez & Mary Venezia
