A world of opportunities for international students

CGCC is a two-year college with various transfer and occupational programs. Many students who plan to earn a four-year bachelor's degree come to CGCC for their first two years of college to complete general university requirements and earn an associate degree. 

Most of our students transfer to Arizona State University, University of Arizona, or Northern Arizona University to complete a four-year bachelor's degree. But you’re not limited to Arizona schools. In fact, CGCC credits are transferable to most public and private universities throughout the United States.
