Welcome from the President of Phoenix College

I am pleased to welcome you to Phoenix College, a premier community college committed to helping students succeed since 1920. As the flagship institution of the Maricopa Community Colleges, we offer a wide variety of excellent courses and programs that will prepare you to transfer to a four year university, earn your associate’s degree or a certificate of completion, improve your career skills, or achieve personal enrichment through life-long learning.

We are a comprehensive and regionally accredited community college, offering smaller more personalized class sizes and innovative learning options such as on-line learning, hybrid classes combining both on-line and classroom instruction, short term courses, and learning communities.

Our students may choose from more than 200 educational programs and over 2,000 courses. PC also has excellent student support services including academic advisement, personal and career counseling, tutoring, financial aid, on-site child care, international, re-entry, and disability and support services. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is committed to offering assistance every step of the way, from the time you apply for admission to Phoenix College to the completion of your certificate or degree and beyond.

You have my personal invitation to stop by our campus and visit with our faculty, staff, and students to learn all you can about this vibrant institution. I hope you decide to become a part of the continuing success story of a community of students who are reaching their life goals through higher education and that you consider Phoenix College your college of choice, where you can "Go Far, Close to Home".

Warmest Regards,


Anna Solley, Ed.D.
