Student Experience

A High-Quality Education

At Eastern Arizona College, classes are small, available, and taught by dedicated highly-credentialed professors. You will work with academic counselors and mentors to ensure a smooth transfer to your university of choice or entry into the workforce as a highly skilled professional. Our programs and facilities are top rated, including the number one nursing program in the state, a well-equipped fabrication lab, and our Discovery Park – a living science laboratory of various eco-systems with access to the Mt. Graham International Observatory.

A Full College Experience

If you think going to class is the only thing you’ll be involved with, think again! Living in the residence halls puts you in the middle of campus activities and events, music and theatrical performances, and athletic competitions – all for free. And the parking is, too! You’ll enjoy delicious meals with friends in Gila Hank’s Cafe – where you’ll plan your next outing to enjoy the natural treasures of the Gila Valley, like hiking Mt. Graham, the highest peak in southern Arizona.
