School Description

Provided by Yavapai College-Prescott

Student success is our top priority. The mission of Yavapai College is to provide high quality, convenient, and cost effective learning opportunities for the diverse population of Yavapai County.

Yavapai College offers 80+ certificate, degree, and transfer options to students in 60+ different programs of study. In addition to traditional curriculum, the college offers many learning options to fit the lifestyles/circumstances of its students. The college has main campuses in Prescott and Verde Valley (Clarkdale), specialized campuses in Chino Valley and Prescott Valley, and centers in Sedona and Camp Verde. The latest addition to the college is the 100,000 sq. ft. Career and Technical Education Center.

Yavapai College annually serves more than 20,000 individuals through its credit and non-credit programs. With an annual budget in excess of $70 million, the college employs more than 120 full time faculty, 330 full time staff and 500 part time employees. The college is governed by a five member elected board.

Since 1966, the Yavapai College Prescott Campus has provided a wide array of educational opportunities for students seeking university transfer, occupational education, direct employment or lifelong learning.

Certificates, degrees and classes are offered in subjects ranging from accounting and art to the social and physical sciences. As one of the few community colleges with on-campus housing, students become part of a comfortable and safe community and are just steps away from classrooms, the library and computer labs, the dining hall, extracurricular activities, sporting events, recreation and friends.

The Prescott Campus also houses the Center for Successful Aging, which provides lifelong learning and experiential education/field trips for the retirement-age population of Yavapai County. Programs include the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, a peer direct/peer supported group of learners, Elderhostel and Edventures.

Often referred to as “Everyone’s Hometown,” Prescott was once Arizona's territorial capital. Throughout the town, visitors can trace Arizona history through the eyes of Native Americans, settlers of the Old West and old fashioned cowboys and gunslingers.

Nestled in the beautiful ponderosa pine forests of the 1.25 million acre Prescott National Forest, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking, biking and rock climbing as well as fishing, kayaking and canoeing on any of Prescott’s five lakes. Golfers will enjoy the six golf courses located in and around Prescott, where the greens fees are reasonable and the backdrops are magnificent.
