Rio Salado College, a mostly online community college in Maricopa County, Ariz., is one of the first community colleges to launch a “national division” targeting students all over the country to take online classes and earn degrees or certificates. Administrators say the division, which debuted last fall, targets “education deserts” where postsecondary programs can be hard to access. “This only adds to what we’re doing locally in Maricopa and how we support Maricopa residents in the state of Arizona in providing a flexible delivery model for students,” said Janelle Elias, interim vice president of Rio National.
