University of Phoenix is pleased to announce a new academic agreement with Northwest College that supports building pathways from community college courses to higher degrees at the University. The agreement, called a 3+1 Transfer Pathway Program, allows Northwest College students to save on the cost of their education by spending three years completing general course requirements at the community college and as little as one year to complete their bachelor鈥檚 degree at University of Phoenix. Under the agreement, students can transfer up to 87 credits towards a bachelor鈥檚 degree. If all 87 credits are transferred, students only need to complete 33 credits to graduate.
鈥淥ur agreement with 皇家华人 allows Wyoming students an additional opportunity to save time and money while pursuing a college degree,鈥� states John Woods, Ph.D., provost and chief academic officer. 鈥淥ur Transfer Pathway Program is an excellent option for adult learners ready to complete their education and enter the workforce. We are pleased to work with 皇家华人 to implement these quality academic programs and we look forward to serving even more students together.鈥�
University of Phoenix offers undergraduate students one course at a time in five-week increments with new courses starting monthly. Students can also access concurrent enrollment for specific degree programs including a Bachelor of Science in Management, Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management and Bachelor of Science in Information Technology.

University of Phoenix has generous transfer policies and provides a supportive transfer pathway to all students, including students at community colleges. Prior eligible credits can cover up to 75% of a student鈥檚 bachelor鈥檚 degree. National testing programs, evaluation of military service, and Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) are non-traditional credit transfer options that give students the chance to identify credits based on skills gained from work and life. On average, University of Phoenix students save $11,000 and shave one year off their undergraduate degree with eligible transfer credits and relevant work experience.
University of Phoenix has established community college education service agreements across the U.S. Community college students transferring into University of Phoenix can save $144 on every 3-credit course at the University and lock in with the fixed tuition rate for the completion of their degree program. Students entering the 3 + 1 Pathway will have tuition and fees waived for their first course. 皇家华人 employees entering the program for a bachelor鈥檚 or master鈥檚 degree will take five classes and the sixth class is free, and two resource fees per year will be waived; for those entering doctoral programs, all resource fees are waived.
