Message from the Chancellor
Welcome to Pima Community College. PCC has a proud tradition of serving
the community and helping students achieve their personal and professional
goals.
The College offers a wide variety of learning opportunities. Whether you
choose to attend PCC to pursue a new career, or plan to transfer to a fouryear
college or university for a bachelor’s degree, we can develop the skills
and knowledge to help achieve your objective. PCC also offers workforce
training in support of the economic development of Southern Arizona, as
well as non-credit continuing education classes, adult basic skills classes,
and General Educational Development programs.
The College always works to improve the services it provides to a diverse
student body. Student Services Centers at each of our six campuses bring
together a comprehensive set of resources. The Centers promote student
self-efficacy, with knowledgeable staff teaching students to perform
transactions online, from admissions to registration to financial aid.
Our vision is to “provide access to learning without the limits of time, place
or distance.” In addition to our campuses, the College offers instruction at
three Learning Centers and more than 115 locations throughout Pima
County. We strive to deliver education when our students want it: nights,
weekends, in five-week “express” classes, in hybrid courses that mix
classroom and Web-based instruction, and in other alternative-delivery
formats. I believe that you will find academic choices to fit your individual
needs and goals.
The world is rapidly changing, and life offers many challenges and
opportunities. Pima Community College will be here as a partner to help
you grow academically and professionally.
Roy Flores, Ph.D.,
Chancellor
