From the Office of the President

Welcome to Yavapai College!

With five campuses throughout Yavapai County, 24 degree programs, 41 certificate programs, lifelong learning opportunities, arts, entertainment and athletics, Yavapai College offers something for everyone.

We offer outstanding educational programs designed to prepare students for a successful career, transfer to a baccalaureate program, or pursue lifelong learning opportunities. The college is small enough to provide rewarding personal interaction between instructors and students, yet large enough to offer diversity in choice of programs.

Yavapai College offers its students quality experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. Our success is attributed to dedicated faculty and staff who are committed to providing the best possible academic experience for every student.

If you are new to our community, I invite you to participate in the fine entertainment offered at the Prescott Performance Hall or join others in cheering on the Yavapai College Roughrider teams. Visit our fine gallery exhibits or enjoy a picnic on our campus greens.

In all of our activities we are proactively building stronger communities, one student at a time. I want to personally welcome you as you become a member of our community. Please feel free to contact me if I may be of assistance during your experience at Yavapai College!

James Horton, Ph.D.
Yavapai College President
