Professors

Current Student

Eac is such an amazing college to start at. The school being as small as it is, makes it easy to connect with students. The professors are so caring and passionate about their teachings. I took chem 138 in High School junior year with eac and i struggled severely due to my intense schedule.

Campus and vibes

Current Student

I have loved going to Eastern Arizona College! The professors are wonderful! They are more than willing to help with any complications with homework, and they genuinely care about their students. The housing and food is okay. Some of the dorms are pretty small and loud, but you get used to it. The courses are wonderful and I've learned quite a lot in my time here! The institute program for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is absolutely amazing, holding lots of events and activities and full of wonderful people! Overall, it's the perfect college to start your schooling at!

Eastern Arizona College is a fine college. I'm a dual enrolled student there while also taking highschool classes at Safford High School. For me taking courses at Eastern Arizona College has been a great opportunity and I am glad I can be a college and high school student.
