Why Community Colleges Matter
Community colleges are playing an increasingly important role in shaping the future of higher education and workforce development. Nationally, community colleges have been a major driver of growth in higher education, enrolling 41% of undergraduates, with enrollment rising 5.4% at public two-year colleges, while vocational-focused community colleges' enrollment increased by 11.7%.
Maricopa Community Colleges has experienced this surge firsthand, with a systemwide 3.3% year-over-year enrollment increase during the 2023-24 academic year. With a focus on workforce-aligned programs, the system continues to enroll more Arizona residents than any other in-state university.
