Coastline's goal is to assist students in completing both an Associate and a Bachelor's Degree in significantly less time, at a lower cost, and while reducing the frustrations often associated with transfer! Here are just some of the benefits of the Learning 1^st program:

• Complete both degrees online
• Enroll as a full time or part time student
• Guided pathway to specific major
• Upon transfer, students receive a fixed and/or discounted tuition rate from the Learning 1st Partner University
• Program applications are "FREE"
• Flexibility to schedule your instructional time (class and study) around your family and life responsibilities
• Access to online resources, student services, and libraries at both institutions
• Use financial aid, if eligible, at Coastline and at your 4-year transfer school

The Learning 1st Program is a collaborative partnership among four nationally recognized, regionally accredited institutions and Coastline to delivery affordable, online four-year baccalaureate degrees.
