University News
Earn a degree from ASU and reach your career goals
is proud to work with you to help community college students
in Arizona succeed in their studies and transfer to earn their
bachelor’s degrees.
Many faculty and staff of community colleges throughout Arizona are ASU alumni, and we are
proud of that affiliation. Because of the quality of our degree programs, the extensive array of
majors and the variety of program formats, many across the state pursue their bachelor’s,
master’s and doctoral degrees at ASU.
Do you plan to earn another degree? When you’re ready to return for an advanced degree,
think about how earning it from the nation’s most innovative school will be perceived by
colleagues as well as future employers.
Earning a degree provides personal and professional enrichment, and could lead to career
advancement. There are face-to-face and online options that fit nearly every work schedule and
interest area. You can also take individual courses of interest as a nondegree-seeking student.
Here are some programs that might interest you.
Educational Studies, BAE — The program embraces the view that learning happens in a
variety of contexts and prepares students to work with children, youth and adults in nonprofit
settings, community institutions, civic organizations or businesses. It provides a strong general
foundation in education through research and discussion of current issues in education,
educational psychology, human development and community-based educational opportunities.
Education in Educational Technology, MEd — Graduates of this program are prepared to
design, develop and evaluate learning technology environments, systems, applications and
instructional materials for a variety of formal and informal educational settings.
Public Administration, MPA — This master’s degree prepares students for public service,
public management and policy analysis at the local, state and national levels of government
and is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration.
Doctor of Education in Leadership and Innovation, EdD — This EdD program is designed for
practicing educator-leaders who work in a range of settings and want to lead change and
implement innovation to improve their practice and create better learning opportunities for
students of all ages.
Become a scholar-practitioner with a Doctor of Management in
Community College Policy and Administration, a program that
fits your life and can transform your potential to lead change in
education. The program is geared towards individuals who aspire
to work in upper administration at the community college.
This unique program offers exceptional scholarship, intimate cohorts, online courses,
distinguished faculty, and dissertation support. It is an online program that requires a
Friday/Saturday on-site residency once a semester in Adelphi MD. There is a consortium at
every residency in which you interact with other higher education professionals globally. Plus,
you'll gain knowledge you can apply right away to your current professional environment.
Individuals work in a cohort of about 15–20 students to complete a community college-related
dissertation within the three years. You'll work together in the same group throughout the entire
program and build a virtual community, while benefiting from leadership assessments and
executive coaching, developed and led by current and former community college presidents and
senior executives.
Through the program’s curriculum, you will learn how to:
Lead change in a highly volatile sector of higher education
Advocate for the needs of community colleges and students at local, state, and federal levels
Apply indicators of institutional effectiveness to all sectors of community college operations
With a highly respected credential, sophisticated knowledge, and an accomplished dissertation,
you'll emerge from the program with the tools to transform student achievement and successfully
guide community colleges into the essential role they will play in the future of education.
Employees of American Association of Community Colleges, of which Pima is a member,

Spotlight on Pima Alumnus
Meet Bradley Schlottman.
The first year Bradley Schlottman attended
the University of Arizona, it didn’t go as
planned. So, he took some time off and
worked a few odd jobs. That didn’t work out
either.
Schlottman attended the UA his freshman
year as a business major, following in the
footsteps of his parents, who are both
alumni.
―I was at UA my whole freshman year, but
during my second semester, I realized business wasn’t for me,‖ Schlottman said. ―After leaving
school for a semester, I decided to go to Pima and work my way through my general education
courses. Now, I’m back at UA.‖
Schlottman earned an Associate of Science while attending Pima Community College from the
spring of 2014 to the fall of 2017. He’s now in his first semester as a junior at the UA, and it’s
going much better the second time around. He’s not as overwhelmed by the big university and is
clearer about what he wants to study, thanks in part to professors he met at Pima.
―My environmental biology professor Duke Schoonmaker and chemistry professor Dr. Lonnie
Burke are passionate and supportive of students. They bring energy and openness to the
classroom,‖ Schlottman said. ―Students can ask them questions about the class or about their
education in general. They helped me solidify my passion for science.‖His experience at Pima allowed Schlottman to explore his interests and decide what he wants to study. He connected his love of the outdoors and passion for the environment with a desire to pursue an environmental science major in the UA College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Schlottman currently works for an advisor in the Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science and is involved in the Students for Sustainability; Soil, Water and Environmental Science, and MycoCats clubs on campus. ―The biggest reason I enjoy the UA is that there are so many extracurricular activities and opportunities for students to make a difference and learn outside the classroom,‖ he said. ―If you have the opportunity to come to the UA and you have a strong head on your shoulders and can focus, do it. But, if you’re still exploring and unsure, start at a community college. It helped me grow a lot.‖ Transfer Tips & Tools Explore Transfer Pathways through AZTransfer.com. At the AZTransfer 5th Annual Summit in April, NAU presented their Personalized Learning program in a breakout session. Personalized Learning is recommended for students who are highly motivated, productive, confident, and self-directed learners. Through NAU’s Personalized Learning – Competency-Based Online Degree Programs, students can pursue a bachelor’s degee for as little as $6000 per year. Through a new approach to online education, Personalized Learning puts the power of learning in the hands of the student.

Flexible: Pacing throughout the program is individualized to learning needs and focuses on learning, not seat time. Resources: Easy access to resources are designed to encourage self-directed learning, along with the continual support of an advisor and faculty mentoring team. Applied Learning: Lessons are built around concepts and applicable learning outcomes with student experiences factored into the degree path. Mentor: A personal faculty mentor is available to help students achieve success and provide support throughout the entire degree program. Innovative: A cutting-edge user interface allows students to have access to all the resources needed to be successful. How it works: Lessons focus on developing key skills and knowledge areas (competencies) across multiple topics.
