The college has seamless credit transfers to all the universities in Arizona and nearly two dozen university partners outside the state.
MCC is the region’s premier workforce training center and partners with business, industry and government leaders throughout Arizona to ensure graduates are well-prepared to enter the workforce with desired professional and industry-specific skills. The college is a regional economic driver with an annual economic impact of more than $200 million throughout Mohave County. MCC strives to meet the growing regional needs of business and industry, and provides opportunities for small business development, as well as professional development for employees in every business sector.
The college educational programs are consistently rated among the best and most affordable in the state by industry publications. In-state tuition at MCC is just $81 per credit hour, which is the most affordable in Arizona, and when combined with MCC’s high-quality academic and workforce training programs it is easy to see why MCC is frequently rated a Best Value College.
The college is also the home to Bighorns Soccer, the first college athletic team based in northwestern Arizona. You can keep up with latest news and information about the men’s and women’s teams at Athletics.Mohave.edu.

We also have an extensive Community & Corporate Education division, which offers non-credit (no grades) classes. The Community Education classes are often called leisure studies and may include everything from arts & crafts to welding basics. Corporate Education classes help build professional skills, some refer to them as soft skills, which are desired by employers. The college is also home to the Small Business Development Center, which can help you start a business, including developing a business plan and applying for a business loan.
Individuals who would like to support students through donations to college scholarship funds can do so through the Mohave Community College Foundation.
