Our programs consistently exceed national averages in retention, completion, credential exam success and job placement rates. The outcomes reflect our commitment to providing high-quality education and preparing students for successful careers in healthcare.

Growth in health services will lead the strong job growth, compromising an estimated 34% of all new jobs - or an additional 176,000 jobs - between 2020-2028. By 20230, Arizona will need more than 190,000 new direct care workers.

When our students thrive, our community thrives. With 800 Health Professionals graduating per year, they see an average of 4,000 patients per day, 20,000 a week and 1,040,000 a year, equal to the population of Pima County.

Nurses make up 9/10 of 1% of the U.S. population. Supporting the Center of Excellence in Health Professions is an investment in our community's health.
