Northern Arizona University is paving the way for students to attend one of its many campuses serving Maricopa County.<\/p>\n

During Connection Days, Feb. 23-25, NAU will hold transfer events promoting accessible and affordable degree programs offered throughout the Valley in conjunction with each of its 10 Maricopa Community College partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents can save money by staying close to home and earning an associate\u2019s degree at a community college before transferring to a local NAU bachelor\u2019s degree program,\u201d said\u00a0Doug Small<\/strong>, assistant dean for\u00a0NAU\u2019s Extended Campuses<\/a>. \u201cMany students are not aware of the many options they have to earn an NAU degree at a Maricopa campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Connection Days will include on-site advisers, degree information and collaborative celebrations with music, prizes, raffles and more. Representatives from Undergraduate Admissions also will be on hand to discuss transfer options to the Flagstaff campus.<\/p>\n

Connection Days promote the Maricopa County Community College District and Northern Arizona University \u201cConnection<\/a>\u201d\u2015a partnership to share instructors, classrooms, facilities and advising to streamline the transfer process to obtain degrees through NAU. Degree programs are offered at local Maricopa Community Colleges or online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
