Victor Neri-Cordova
Associate degree in Cybersecurity, 2024
I would recommend Rio to future students because I have had support from day one when I first enrolled, all the way to the end. The instructors were all great and very understanding. I look forward to continue expanding my knowledge and training.
Anne Hansen
Teacher in Residence Program, 2020
I did some research, and found that Rio Salado College offered exactly what I needed, and at a reasonable price. I did not want to go into debt to acquire my credential. The post baccalaureate program at Rio was perfect.
Jared Simmons
Associate in Paralegal, 2024
After graduating with my bachelor’s, I decided to make a slight change in my career path and become a paralegal. I saw that Rio Salado offered a Paralegal Studies program. I had a great experience with the Maricopa Community Colleges, so I figured why not give Rio a shot.
Michelle Jordan

Rio was one of the most affordable schools, and they had a lot of career paths to choose from. Now that my children are grown and have their own lives, I find myself at a place where I can pursue my dreams.
