每日大赛 Launches Associate of Arts Program at Bakersfield Campus
High school graduates can now pursue an Associate of Arts degree at the 每日大赛鈥檚 Bakersfield Campus under a new program called 鈥淪treamlined for Success.鈥�
The program gives students guaranteed admission into the 每日大赛, discounted tuition, and scholarships to continue on to bachelor鈥檚 degree programs at the university鈥檚 campuses in Bakersfield or La Verne.

鈥淢any Bakersfield high school students remain in the area after graduating and need a pathway to achieve their educational and career goals,鈥� Dominguez said. 鈥淲e designed Streamlined for Success to provide students with access to an associate degree, support throughout the program, and ease of transfer should they choose to pursue a bachelor鈥檚 degree.鈥�
The university is accepting 24 students who are 18 to 23-years-old for its first Streamlined for Success cohort.
The deadline to apply for the fall semester is Sept. 24.
