Start Smart and Save!Keeping up with rising college costs can be difficult. In Arizona, the tuition at state universities is currently more than five times what you pay at Arizona Western College. Our goal is to offer you a quality education in state-of-the art facilities while keeping your costs as low as possible.

Since the early 1960s, Arizona Western College has served local residents and even international students seeking to continue their education. AWC graduates can continue their studies toward bachelor or master degrees at the Northern Arizona University-Yuma branch, which shares the AWC campus under an arrangement that dates to the late 1980s.

By earning the B.A.S. Degree in Industrial Technology Management, students at NAU-Yuma, students save additional money since 75 credits are earned at AWC where the tuition is lower than at a University.

The road to a degree can be paved with financial aid. Don’t let a current lack of funds slow you down from achieving the education and the career you want. Students can apply for federal pell grants or other tools to alleviate cost concerns.
