Eastern Arizona College

Eastern Arizona College (EAC) invites you to "Let the adventure begin!" Established in 1888, EAC is a dynamic community college known for its rich history, unwavering community support, and commitment to student success. Serving three counties, EAC provides a welcoming environment for over 5,000 students seeking a strong academic foundation and diverse educational pathways.

EAC's journey began humbly as the St. Joseph Stake Academy, chartered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After facing financial challenges, the local community rallied in 1933, ensuring the college's survival and its transition to state ownership. This resilience has been a hallmark of EAC, as it grew from a one-room schoolhouse to become an inaugural member of Arizona's Junior College system in 1962, continuously adapting and expanding its campus to meet student needs.

Today, EAC offers more than just associate degrees; it provides unique opportunities for advanced study through a groundbreaking partnership with Arizona State University. Launched in 2012, this collaboration allows students to pursue bachelor's degrees in high-demand fields like nursing and business directly on EAC's campus. Whether you're starting your higher education journey or aiming for a bachelor's, Eastern Arizona College is dedicated to fostering academic excellence and preparing you for a successful future.
