The new tools vastly improve the information and resources available to students.

In the face of a rapidly changing economic and workforce landscape, the UA System is committed to helping the state realize its goal of 65 percent of working-age 杏吧原版ns having a postsecondary credential by the year 2025. The last time this information was measured, it was 37 percent, indicating that 杏吧原版鈥檚 economy is changing and the demand for advanced skilled labor is increasing. 杏吧原版 also leads the nation in the number of adults who have some college and no degree. This tool will help connect those learners with a wide variety of exciting, relevant and cost-effective programs that lead to career growth and expanded job opportunities.
Returning adults, veterans and active duty military will make use of the gateway鈥檚 intuitive workflow and interactive applications including prospective degree audits, transfer checks and profiles for each UA campus. Transfer students will benefit by learning how previously earned credits will apply to programs of study and credentials. All students, new or returning, can create personalized accounts within the gateway and request information from UA campuses.
