 Fully
accredited by ABHES (Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools),
the Phoenix campus is currently offering two programs with classes
being held during the day and in the evening. The college degrees
granted are nationally accredited, and the optional medical certifications
are offered through the National Center for Competency Testing
(NCCT) while the optional computer certifications are offered
through Prometric. CollegeAmerica Phoenix participates in the
Title IV Federal Financial Aid program and offers Financial Planning
support to the students who qualify. Both the Medical Specialty
and the Computer Technology Programs are Associate Degree (Occupation)
programs, and have been designed to emphasize the development
of practical skills through focused, hands-on learning. These
programs are tailored to prepare the students for immediate employment
in their field after graduation.
The CollegeAmerica Phoenix campus is growing rapidly. Students

 The
5th largest city in the USA, capital of the state of Arizona,
one of the fastest growing cities in the US, Phoenix is a thriving
metropolis located at the heart of the Valley of the Sun.
For serious baseball fans, Phoenix is a great place to catch
spring training. The San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, and
Chicago Cubs are just a few of the teams that travel to sunny
Phoenix to get warmed up for their season. It also goes without
saying that golf is a popular pastime in the Valley of the Sun.
With more than 200 golf courses, players should not find it surprising
that there are a number of courses designed by golf champions
Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, or Tom Weiskopf, and legendary architects
like Robert Trent Jones II or Tom Fazio. Golf is available year-round
and usually offered at a discount in the warmer summer months.
Uninterrupted years of sustained economic growth have made Phoenix
the hub of the Southwest, and a major technology center. Motorola,
the telecommunication giant and the largest private sector employer
of the Valley; Honeywell, the leading manufacturer of avionics,
aircraft engines, and space equipment; Intel, the world foremost
computer processors manufacturer; Microsoft, who needs no introduction;
Cisco Systems, and IBM among others share a very educated workforce
and together provide a robust employment market and the promise
of challenging careers for the graduates of the computer sector.
 But
Phoenix is not only a high-tech center, it is also at the competency
core of healthcare in the Southwest. The Mayo Clinic, the Phoenix
Baptist Hospital and Medical Center, the Carl T. Hayden Veterans
Medical Center, the Arizona Heart Institute, the Arizona Department
of Health Services, and Banner Health System all provide a wealth
of opportunities for medical graduates in some of the nation's
best hospitals and healthcare facilities.
And for those looking for business careers, more than 4,600 companies
employ over 400,000 employees in the greater Phoenix area, with
giants like Procter & Gamble and Southwest Airlines offering
nationwide opportunities.
But visitors are not only drawn by the robust economy of the
area. The city isn't known as the Valley of the Sun for nothing!
At the heart of the Sonoran Desert, only five hours away from
the majestic Grand Canyon, only two hours south of the beauty
of Flagstaff, Sedona, and the San Francisco Mountains, Phoenix
averages over 300 days of sunshine each year and remains a point
of confluence where different cultures meet and merge, and where
architecture ranges from the most modern realizations to a definite
old Southwest style tradition. Phoenix and surrounding areas boast
170 city-owned parks, among which South Mountain Park, located
only minutes from the CollegeAmerica campus, is the largest municipal
park in the world. This 20,000 acres park offers horseback riding,
hiking trails, and mountain biking to nearly 3 million visitors
each year.
Sports enthusiasts could hardly ask for a more athletic-friendly
city! Phoenix is home to the Arizona Cardinals (NFL), Arizona
Diamondbacks (MLB), Phoenix Coyotes (NHL), Phoenix Suns (NBA),
Phoenix Mercury (WNBA), and Arizona Rattlers (arena football).
 For
serious baseball fans, Phoenix is a great place to catch spring

year-round and usually offered at a discount in the warmer summer
months. And of course, Phoenix is also a major education center
with, among many other fine institutions, one of the latest campuses
of the CollegeAmerica / Stevens Henager group that operates campuses
in the states of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, and California.
