Associate in Early Childhood Education, 2024
I needed the flexibility of being able to support my children, attend their school functions, work as needed, and also go to school on my own schedule. Rio Salado is very flexible, very rigorous and I liked the challenge.
Abe McCann
Associate in Arts, 2019
Following my time in the United States Army, I chose to complete my education at Rio Salado College. Rio’s Veterans Services department went above and beyond to help me process my benefits, create and academic plan, and navigate returning to college as an adult learner.
Antoinette Mendez
Small Business Management Certificate, 2024
I chose Rio because the online courses give me the flexibility to be successful. I have the option to take single or multiple courses at one time. The scheduling allows me to conveniently map out the timeline to completion.
Shawn Campbell
Associate in General Studies, 2023
I decided on Rio for a few different reasons. I had heard many great things about Rio and how they help encourage their students to do their absolute best. Online was the best option for me because it allowed me to have freedom in my school times while working full-time.
