A: The purpose of the IRE Scholarship program is to help students earn a certificate prior to release. A certificate or degree from Rio Salado College, an accredited college, can help student employability upon release.
All certificate programs have an associate component to the program of study that can be completed after earning the certificate. Certificates offered in the print based program are listed below:
Time frame provided to complete the certificate is dependent on courses the student has previously taken, the number of classes a student takes per semester and courses transferred in from another academic institution.
After completing the certificate component of a degree and if the student has time and funds available, we suggest the student focus on the associate component or the general studies portion of the degree.
Attached with this email is a list of our Program Check sheets and Course Descriptions.
