Highly Satisfied Alumni
Nathan Chase
Associate Degree in Paralegal Studies, 2021
I chose Rio Salado College because I wanted to have the benefit of completing courses on my own time. As I was employed, attending traditional college courses in-person didn’t always work out for me.
Martha Salter
Associate in Business, 2022
I chose Rio Salado because of the flexibility in available dates for classes. When I looked at other schools’ class schedules, they were very limited. I appreciated being able to do my classes around my schedule and still be home to take care of my daughter.
Taylor Garman
Associate in Arts Degree, 2020
Initially, I decided to take dual enrollment credits through Rio Salado in hopes that my university of choice would take my credits. In 2020, I earned my high school diploma and associate degree at the same time.
Priscilla Ortiz
Currently pursuing an Associate in Science degree
Originally, I chose Rio Salado College because it offered flexible start dates. The calendar was crucial for me. I knew Rio would allow me to speed up or slow down my classes to fit my current life.
