Mohave Community College

Mohave Community College stands as a cornerstone of education across Mohave County, bringing accessible and quality learning opportunities directly to the communities it serves. With a visionary multi-campus approach spanning Kingman, Bullhead City, Lake Havasu City, and Colorado City, MCC is deeply embedded in the region, adapting its offerings to meet local needs and empower its diverse student body to achieve academic and career success.

Its genesis is a testament to community spirit: established by a public vote in October 1970, MCC quickly laid foundations for its future. Early on, generous land donations, including 160 acres in Kingman from J. Leonard and Grace Neal, and a parcel in Lake Havasu City from McCulloch Properties, underscored the strong local support and commitment to fostering higher education within the county. This foundational period set the stage for a college built by and for its community.

Since its establishment, Mohave Community College has grown to become an integral part of Arizona's educational landscape. Becoming part of the Arizona State System of Community Colleges in 1974 marked a significant step, aligning MCC with statewide standards and resources. This growth culminated in full accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1981, a stamp of approval that assures students and families of the college's commitment to high academic quality and student support.
