REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingCentral Arizona College is a wonderful place to go for students starting a college career right out of high school, or adults returning to school to get their degrees. Everyone on campus, from students to teachers, is very open and friendly, and more then willing to show new students around. The main campus itself is rather large, but being nestled at the base of a mountain, displays beautiful scenery and provides an excellent place to star gaze at night for any astronomy students.
Haley from Queen Creek, AZ
I enjoyed the school very much. I would love to attend full time.
Carole from Mesa, AZ
Their online classes utilize the blackboard instructional method, and they are very good. The support you receive is very useful. The feedback from the professors is prompt and conducive to a good learning atmosphere,
Mark from CasaGrande, AZ
Great online classes, teachers are hilarious, administration needs to lighten up, student employees are all girls which i hate because its sexist
Kirk from Chandler Heights, AZ
After many years of being out of school, I feel your never too old to learn something new.
Ann from Arizona City, AZ
I'm not only learning curriculum here at CAC but I'm learning so much about living on campus, staying on track, and setting goals that will take me to a 4-year university after this.
