Pima Community College (PCC) is a public community college in Tucson, Arizona, United States. It serves the Tucson metropolitan area with a community college district consisting of five campuses, four education centers, and several adult education learning centers. It provides traditional and online instruction for over 144 programs. The college also offers workforce training, non-credit personal interest classes and post-baccalaureate certificates. PCC is one of the largest multi-campus community colleges in the United States, with a relative ranking varying between fourth and tenth largest. PCC is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
At just $3,123/year after aid and a median debt of only $4,500 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths to a two-year degree or workforce credential in Arizona — especially useful if you're planning to transfer to a four-year school or enter a trade field quickly. The five Tucson-area campuses and 144+ programs give you real flexibility. That said, the median earnings of $35,000 a decade out are modest, so if you're not using PCC as a stepping stone to a bachelor's degree or a specific licensed trade, think carefully about whether the program you choose leads somewhere with stronger earning potential.
