PHOENIX, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- University of Phoenix announces a new academic agreement with York Technical Collegeย that supports building pathways from community college coursework to higher education degree opportunities at the University. The agreement allows eligible York Technical College students to take advantage of transfer pathways for undergraduate degree programs at University of Phoenix.
"Students benefit when they have clear opportunities to build on their prior learning and continue making progress toward their goals," said John Woods, PhD, provost and chief academic officer at University of Phoenix. "This agreement with York Technical College helps create a more seamless path to a bachelor's degree while supporting learners as they balance education, work and other responsibilities."

Under the agreement, eligible York Technical College graduates may benefit from transfer pathways that help maximize previously earned credits.
