Rio Salado College President Kate Smith and Brandman University Chancellor Gary Brahm cordially invite you to attend a virtual celebration to commemorate a new educational partnership.
Join us as we celebrate the creation of new degree pathways between our two student-centric institutions and describe how they benefit our students as they move ahead in their education and careers.
With our partnership, Rio Salado students have the opportunity to:
Transfer directly to Brandman University to continue their education
- Choose from our unified education plans for a path through Rio Salado and Brandman University to earn associate and bachelor’s degrees.
Earn undergraduate degrees completely online
- Ideal under the current climate and if attending school while working.
- Programs are also offered in hybrid (on-campus and online) and online self-paced formats.
Upskill with career-focused courses
- With 9 out of 10 Brandman students working while earning their degree, our students can apply what they learn in class on the job from day one.
- 71% of alumni said Rio Salado provided the skills needed for their jobs and almost two-thirds reported earning a higher income because of attending Rio Salado.*
