About this school

Students here can use federal financial aid, since the college participates in Title IV programs. The campus awards the most credentials in CNA classes, EMT and paramedic training, and construction trades programs, drawing from six program families total.

Federal data shows a completion rate of 24.3%, which is below the Arizona state average of 64.4%.
