15 Save money and stay in YUMA Do it NOW it will cost more each year.

16 Earn an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree from AWC and a Bachelors of Applied Science (BAS) Degree from NAU-Yuma Arizona Western College: AAS in Automotive Technology, Welding Technology or Industrial Technology AWC - $10,000. NAU - $12,000. TOTAL = $22,000.* *estimated at costs Meet A.A.S. degree requirements - General Education Certificate (AGEC courses) in 5 semesters of 15 credits (additional course may be required due to test score placement) Estimated cost per semester ( ). Tuition and fees $1,210 / Books and supplies $ 790. $2,000 per semester - 5 semesters** Northern Arizona University-Yuma: BAS in Industrial Technology Management NAU will accept 75 credit hours from the Automotive Technology, Welding Technology and Industrial Technology degrees with General Education Emphasis from AWC. The NAU BAS requirements include an additional 45 credit hours. The additional 45 credits can be obtained in 3 semesters (15 credits each semester) Estimated cost ( ). Tuition and fees $3,150 / Books, fees, supplies $ 850. $4,000 per semester - 3 semesters** Estimated total costs: Arizona Western College $2,000 per semester x 5 semesters = $10,000 Northern Arizona University $4,000 per semester x 3 semesters = $ 12,000 Estimated total cost for the AAS and BAS degrees over four years = $22,000** **Costs are based on estimates of tuition, books, fee and supplies only. Other personal and/or living expenses are NOT included. The approximate cost of $22,000 is an estimate only based on the school year.

23 Goal 1: Increase Associate and Baccalaureate degree completions among Hispanic and other low-income students in STEM-related fields by strengthening applied science and technology program infrastructure and curriculum, and outreach/advising to students.

24 Goal 2: Increase the number and percentage of these individuals who transfer to 4-year institutions in STEMrelated fields by developing model transfer and articulation agreement programs with NAU-Yuma.

25 Inspire: targeted outreach to underrepresented populations Develop: STEM programs that meet local workforce needs Attract & retain: provide support mechanisms Evaluate: Ongoing evaluation fosters improvement Deliver: Share information that will enhance replication

52 AWC will continue to align Career and Technical courses to feed into the Bachelor s of Applied Sciences Degree through NAU.

53 Our Pipeline Project has proven to be a successful method of Career and Technical Degree Transfer to a Bachelor s Degree at NAU. Other Arizona Community Colleges will be replicating this implementation in the near future.
