The University of Arizona Global Campus

What The University of Arizona Global Campus does

The University of Arizona Global Campus (UAGC) is a fully online, regionally accredited university operating as a business unit of the University of Arizona since the 2022 affiliation. It delivers 50+ degree programs at the associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels across seven academic areas—Business, Criminal Justice, Education, Health Care, Information Technology, Liberal Arts, and Social & Behavioral Sciences—through two colleges (College of Professional Advancement and College of Integrative Learning). Its core technology is a fully asynchronous learning management system using accelerated 5-6 week course terms designed for adult learners, supported by dedicated student services including tutoring, writing assistance, library services, a 24/7 academic help desk, and bundled access to Microsoft Office 365 and Grammarly Premium.

UAGC serves three primary customer segments: working adults (average age 35, 47-54% Pell Grant recipients), military personnel (7,000+ military-connected students enrolled, supported by VA education benefits, military tuition assistance, and a recognized Student Veterans of America chapter), and transfer students from community colleges and partner institutions. Revenue is generated primarily through per-credit tuition ($460 undergraduate, $600-$740 master's, $812 doctoral; $295 partner rate for community college transfers and the Arizona College Partner Benefit), supplemented by employer-sponsored tuition through corporate workforce development partnerships with employers including AmerCareRoyal, BWX Technologies, Pool Corp, Airgas Red-D-Arc, and Microchip Technology.

Distribution is 100% direct-to-consumer via the UAGC website with admission-specialist support, augmented by an array of marketing channels—organic search, paid digital advertising, social media, email marketing, industry events, and podcast/video content. The geographic footprint is primarily U.S. (SARA-participating states except North Carolina) with a pilot expansion into Canada launched in March 2026. UAGC holds institutional accreditation from WSCUC alongside programmatic accreditations from ABET, CCNE, CAHIIM, and IACBE, which are foundational to its federal Title IV aid eligibility and competitive positioning.
