Arizona’s three university presidents are proposing the opening of a fourth, lower priced campus as soon as next year and four similar campuses by 2020. The campuses would only offer bachelor’s degrees with limited majors and have cheaper in state tuition

The plan will be presented to the Board of Regents on Thursday. Many details still need to be worked out, such as funding, locations and academic majors.

The presidents are recommending that the new campuses be operated by an existing university. ASU is the most likely choice.

The Arizona Republic reports that Lake Havasu City, Show Low and Goodyear are among the locations intersted in having a 4 year campus.
