Yavapai College is a public community college in Yavapai County, Arizona. The main campus is in Prescott, with locations in Clarkdale, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley and Sedona.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $6,355/year and a median debt of only $6,762, the financial access is genuinely impressive for a community college in northern Arizona. However, the 32% graduation rate is a real concern — most students who start here don't finish — and median earnings of $34,000 a decade out suggest limited long-term financial lift from a credential alone. Worth considering if you have a clear plan, strong self-discipline, and are using it as an affordable stepping stone to transfer or a specific trade — but go in with eyes open about the completion challenge.
