In 1920, higher education in the state consisted of the University of Arizona, Arizona State Teachers’ College, Northern Arizona Normal School and Phoenix Junior College. The Teachers’ College later became ASU, the Normal School eventually became NAU, and the Junior College grew into Phoenix College, Arizona’s original two-year institution of higher learning.
We’re very proud of our pioneering place in Arizona history, and even prouder to be the flagship college of the Maricopa Community Colleges, the largest community college district in the nation.
Today’s Phoenix College students come from many diverse cultures, nationalities and personal experiences. They are recent high school graduates pursuing a university degree. They are working adults seeking a better life for their family. And they are refugees from strife-torn countries who risked their lives to realize the promise of education in America.
