Thirteen Receive Associate Degrees

RANDOLPH, Utah.  May 17, 2017. Thirteen Rich High School students received associate degrees from Utah State University this spring and participated in the university’s graduation exercises.    

Rich High teacher Delora White works with the concurrent enrollment program which allows students to enroll in university online classes which have university credits. The students who received their associate degree took over 60 university credits in addition to their core courses at the high school.  These classes are chosen to fulfill general education requirements in the student’s selected field of study which can reduce the time to graduate from a university or college by as much as two years. This significantly reduces the cost of higher education.

There are other students who take a concurrent enrollment class as well as Bridgerland courses but who do not get to the 60 hour requirement for an associate degree.

White thanked the administration and board for their support.  Rich High School was the only school who participated in the USU  graduation.   These students will be going to USU, Weber and UVU.

2017 Associate Degrees Awarded to: Wyatt Downing, Melanie Lamborn, Riley Ostler, Makayla Davis, Jaden Larson, Dylann Stapel, Hunter Trenery, Millie Weston, Payson Willis, Katie Carver, Jacob Benner, Heather Thomson, Ashley Groll.
