13. Here’s what George says about his Pima experience:
Our #1 Goal: Your Success!
Here’s what George says about his Pima experience:
“What I enjoyed best about the APTR program was the flexibility and timeliness that it allowed me to finish my RT.  I am highly convinced that you cannot put a price on convenience and time especially in today’s society. The ability to balance full-time work responsibilities, full-time family responsibilities, and education all at once is what makes Pima’s option so attractive and very much worth it.”
