YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE ONLINE BACHELOR’S PROGRAMS SEE HIGH LOCAL ENROLLMENT

County residents make up 85% of persons “declaring” for the Business B.S. program and 96% of acceptances (49 students) into the Spring 2024 Nursing B.S.

Yavapai Community College introduced its first baccalaureate degree, the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Business, starting in the Fall 2023. This degree offers concentrations in Accounting, Organizational Management and Leadership, and Entrepreneurship. At the April 23, 2024 District Governing Board meeting, the College reported that although course completion data is not yet available, 614 students have “declared” for this program.  According to the Community College,  85% (521 students) are residents of Yavapai County.

Following the successful launch of its business degree, the Community College introduced a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) for the Spring 2024 semester. The nursing program, which had an enrollment cap of 50 students for its inaugural semester, accepted 49 students. Remarkably, 96% of these students are from Yavapai County, reflecting the college’s strong local appeal and community impact.

It is believed that both of the baccalaureate degree programs are taught exclusively online.
