Cost Overview

Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $2,321 per year at Central Arizona College, while those from wealthier families earning over $110,000 pay $7,223 annually. The college keeps costs manageable across all income brackets, with middle-class families paying between $2,601 and $7,109 depending on their earnings. A two-year degree totals between $4,642 and $14,446 for most students.

Graduates leave with a median debt of only $10,010, translating to monthly payments of $106. That payment burden looks reasonable against median earnings of $40,513 ten years after graduation. Only 3% of students take federal loans, suggesting many can afford the program without borrowing. Rural Arizona families get strong value here, with 98% of students coming from in-state. The best deal goes to low-income students, who attend for the cost of books and supplies.
