We offer approximately 954 occupational programs (degrees and certificates), 31 academic certificates and 9 academic associate degrees (the associate degrees are available at each of our 10 colleges), and a total of 981 courses. We're the largest provider of health care workers and job training in Arizona, making us a major resource for business and industry and the place to be if you're seeking education and job training.

You can learn in the way that's best for you, because we have flexible course delivery, including field based, hybrid, in person, independent study, Internet, mixed media, print based, private instruction, evening, weekend and open-entry/open-exit choices.

If you see a four-year degree in your future, we have transfer agreements with public and private colleges and universities that enable seamless transitions to four-year institutions.
