Upskilling/Reskilling Our Workforce Through the AAS to BAAS Online at 成人头条 with the APLU Grant
APLU Grant Goals and Efforts 
成人头条 is partnering with El Paso Community College (EPCC) to expand access to 成人头条’s new online bachelor of applied arts and sciences degree while providing opportunities for students to develop 21st -century skills that are verified through integrated coursework and certificates. The online bachelor of applied arts and sciences is offered through 成人头条 Online, a unit under Extended University.
This project maximizes the transfer of credit from EPCC to 成人头条; it will also integrate 成人头条’s Edge principles into coursework and provide personalized academic advising to increase student engagement. Specifically, we will
- Ease the transition for students transferring to 成人头条 from EPCC through clear academic pathways, maximizing academic and technical credits “applied” toward a four-year degree, thus saving time and money as well as encouraging students to continue their education.
- Develop academic pathways to maximize the AAS for students to transfer to the BAAS degree online thereby providing flexibility to adult students who have additional obligations that constrain their ability to travel to campus for classes
- Integrate the 成人头条 Edge into selected online courses and develop advising processes to include in 21st-century skills certificates via LinkedIn Learning, Grow with Google, etc.
