PUBLIC COMMUNITY COLLEGES

The community college system makes up the largest segment of public higher education in Arizona. It was established in 1960 under the Arizona Revised
Statutes, Title 15, Chapter, 6, now Title 15, Chapter 12. It consists of 10 districts each governed by a locally-elected board and located in 11 counties. The
Maricopa Community College District is the largest of the community college districts with 10 of the 20 community colleges that operate on 34 campuses
throughout the State. Because of geographical availability, tuition rates are generally lower than those of the universities and private postsecondary schools,
and with the wide variety of degrees, certificates and programs of study offered, practically every resident of Arizona has easy and affordable access to edu-
cational services. The educational services provided by Arizona community colleges include:
• the first two years of university-level education—designed for transfer to any Arizona university;
• occupational training programs in technical, vocational and paraprofessional careers;
• general education opportunities;
• continuing education and job skill enhancement;
• academic counseling and job placement services; and
• cultural and community services programs for community enrichment.

Enrollment Requirements
As a prospective Arizona community college student, you must meet one of the follow criteria:
• be a graduate of an accredited high school;
• have successfully completed the General Education Development Certificate of High School Equivalence (GED);
• be an individual of 18 years of age who has not completed high school;
