John Bradley, Retired Residential
Faculty
Education: Ph.D. in
Education, M.S. in Technical & Industrial Education, Southern
Illinois University @ Carbondale, B.S. in Agricultural Industries,
University of Illinois @ Urbana
Biography: Married to
Marylyn Patton Bradley, 2014 Estrella Mountain Community College
Distinguished Woman of the Year. For more than 45 years I've had the
freedom to devote my life to making student dreams come true.
I am co-creator of the flexible
Associate of Applied Science in Organizational Management (AAS)
Degree program. I joined Estrella Mountain Community College in
August 1992. The flexible AAS program works for a manager or owner
who needs a customized program that does not require advanced math
but does need the freedom to create a program that meets his or her
personal career development needs. Anyone graduating with this degree
will have been taught how to make logical decisions and exposed to
all skills the federal government considers essential to career
success.
According to the 2010 census 33%
of all adult Americans owns a baccalaureate degree. Many management
positions are reserved for persons with that credential. Graduates
with an AAS in Organizational Management can transfer to Northern
Arizona University as a senior and cost-effectively complete a
baccalaureate and master's degree without leaving their family, jobs
or Southwest Valley homes.
Employment: A
vocational educator from 1969 to 2014.
