Coconino Community College (CCC) is a public community college in Coconino County, Arizona. It enrolls more than 7,500 learners annually.^[4]

The college offers more than 50 associate degrees and certificates.^[5] Scholarships are available through the CCC Foundation.^[6] The main campus is in Flagstaff, Arizona, with other college locations in Fredonia,^[7] Page,^[8] Tuba City, and Williams. CCC works with Northern Arizona University and the major employers in the area^[9] in meeting training, workforce and university transfer needs.

History

[edit]

According to a Jan. 17, 1990 editorial in the Arizona Daily Sun newspaper, "We are the largest county in the state and have large numbers of people who either cannot afford to or are not allowed to enroll at Northern Arizona University. We have large numbers of adults who would avail themselves of an adult education program in the evenings. We have many people who are denied the opportunity for vocational training because they cannot afford to relocated to Phoenix, Prescott or Tucson to enroll in programs."^[10]

Previous attempts to create a community college in Coconino County—1978 and 1985—failed. By 1990, another effort was underway, and during a November 1990 election, a ballot measure to form a community college district passed, according to the Arizona Daily Sun. Subsequently, in May 1991, voters approved funding the community college. Nearly 1,000 county residents registered for classes.^[11]

Coconino Community College opened as Coconino County Community College on July 1, 1991, in a shopping center at the top of Fourth Street.^[12] The first day of classes were in late August 1991. On January 4, 2002, the Lone Tree campus in Flagstaff, AZ opened.^[13]

In 1995, CCCC dropped "County" from its name, and is now known as Coconino Community College (CCC).^[14]
