YAVAPAI COLLEGE CATALOG
INTRODUCTION
Welcome from the President
Let me offer a brief but enthusiastic introduction to our on-line college catalog. This publication gives you an idea of what you can expect of us as you enroll in our classes. It also contains a wealth of information that will help you succeed – and student success is why we’re here.
You’ll find that our educational programs are rigorous as they prepare students for entering the world of work, transferring to a four-year college, and/or enjoying life-long learning. You can take pride in the fact that the College and many of our individual programs were recently reviewed by outside accrediting associations and received outstanding commendations.
All of us are committed to providing quality higher learning and cultural resources for the diverse populations of Yavapai County. Join us in enhancing your life, improving the quality of life for others, and making a positive difference in the world.
