Against the advice of many local industry professionals, Al and Florence Collins founded Al Collins Graphic Design School in 1978 at a Phoenix location. The school initially offered a small evening program. Day classes were later added and larger facilities were obtained. In 1982, the school became accredited by the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools (NATTS).
In 1985 the school moved to a larger campus in Tempe due to growth in its student population. The following year, the Computer Graphics program was added and in 1986.
In 1987, the Arizona State Board for Private Post-secondary Education and NATTS granted the school the approval to offer an Associate of Arts (AA) degree in Visual Communication and in 1991, the Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Communication.
In February of 1994, the school was acquired by Career Education Corporation (CEC).
In 1997, several revised and additional programs were licensed by Arizona and approved by the ACCSCT. The Associate of Arts degree in Visual Communication was revised and expanded to include optional specialty tracks and the BA Visual Communication received a general education component.
The Associate of Occupational Studies degree in Personal Computer/Network Technology was offered in 1997. Separate certificate programs in Multimedia Production and Digital Video Production were added, in addition to a Certificate in Computer Graphics program. In 1998, the school implemented the Associate of Occupational Studies degree in Animation.
As the student population continued to grow, from 1999 to 2001 additional property was acquired adjacent to the main campus. The school changed its name in 2001 to Collins College.
