Phillip Cross
Post-Bacc Educator Preparation Program, 2023
I chose Rio Salado because their online structure allowed me to take classes around my full-time job schedule. As an online student, I could log into my classes and work on my studies on my lunch break, before or after work and on the weekends.
Erica Martinez
Associate in Business, 2023
I have four kids, a husband, a dog, and a full-time job. I chose Rio because flexible scheduling and being able to complete my work at my own pace was the most important thing in deciding which school to attend while pursuing my associate degree.

After looking at other online schools, Rio's curriculum provided a more robust, comprehensive, practical program than the others. Learning from home was convenient as it related to my work-life balance objectives.
Alicia McNeil
