Weekend College offers full-time professionals, stay-at-home parents, and even high school students the opportunity to take classes when it may be more convenient on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings.
As the program has expanded over the years, Weekend College offerings have grown to help students fulfill their Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) requirements.
An administration of justice associate degree has been added to the program's slate of offerings, while the college’s EMS and fire science programs have found a home at Weekend College for Friday and Saturday classes.
Qualified high school students who wish to simultaneously earn high school and college credit also find the weekend program to be a convenient means of achieving their goal.
The Corporate Center will be open for registration on Aug. 18 which also is the first day of Weekend College.
