PCC & Northern Arizona University Team up for new 90/30 Bachelor Degrees

Pima Community College and Northern Arizona University have announced a new 90/30 bachelor degree program.  

Pima Community College Chancellor Roy Flores and Northern Arizona University President John Haeger said the 90/30 program will allow community college students to transfer up to 90 college credits to Northern Arizona University towards specific bachelor’s degree programs.  Students transferring to the 90/30 degree programs can apply approximately 50% more community college credits towards a bachelor’s degree than current two-year transfer degree programs.

Four bachelor degrees are being offered by NAU under the 90/30 partnership: a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis on Public Management; and a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis on Humanities.  

The NAU program is Arizona’s first in-state 90/30 program leading to a baccalaureate degree.

Pima Community College was the first community college in Arizona to offer a 90/30 degree option to its students.  PCC began a 90/30 partnership with Indiana University offering a Bachelor’s degree in General Studies in September, 2006.

Persons interested in learning more about the NAU 90/30 program should talk with an advisor at either PCC or NAU.  Information is also available from NAU by emailing distance.programs@nau.edu or calling 800-426-8315.
