Arizona College
Phoenix Campus
Our College in Phoenix is a brand new facility featuring
a resolutely high-tech learning environment, conveniently
located on Black Canyon Highway, alongside Interstate 17,
near several Valley Metro Bus Stops, restaurants, shopping
centers, and a wide-range of housing options.
Capable of hosting up to 300 students, our college in
Phoenix offers a medical lab, a computer lab, many large
classrooms, a library, a student lounge, broadcast teaching
capability, a school-wide computer network, and up-to-date
learning support equipment.
CollegeAmerica's college in Phoenix brings a new standard
of college education to Phoenix. Focused on the needs of our
students, our campus in Phoenix are not designed to be
"student factories", but to be smaller and offer a personal,
intimate environment where you will not be considered a
number or just another student. In line with this
personalized attention, all our graduates receive intensive
Employment Assistance, with the result that CollegeAmerica
graduates achieve a very high rate of employment and see
their income significantly increase as a result of their
education.
Accredited by ACCSC, 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 (Occupational) 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 enjoy a brand new students' computer pool equipped
with fast machines, high-speed Internet access, and the
latest in networking equipment. The classrooms are large and
luminous, replete with quality executive style furnishing,
and equipped with up-to-date audiovisual equipment.
Computers and printers are located in all the classrooms and
the library, and are available to students. Framed pictures
of beautiful southwestern landscapes decorate the classrooms
and corridors, creating a warm welcoming environment
favorable to effective learning and to the development of
positive professional behavior.
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).

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.
