PimaOnline
In March 2020, Pima Community College moved its in-person classes to remote learning, a traumatic move for many faculty and students. However, the College also had a dedicated online learning platform called PimaOnline. Sensing we could grow enrollment in PimaOnline even if enrollment declined in remote or virtual classes, we launched a multi-state digital campaign promoting 4 key programs: Cybersecurity, Business, Liberal Arts and Post-Baccalaureate Teaching Certification.
