the main campus? |

| What
type of assignments will I do? |
Programs
at the BI focus on meaningful projects and activities to develop
new skills that deliver immediate value at work. |
What
is an accelerated class format? |
In
a traditional format, students meet on-campus several times
each week for 16 weeks for each 3-credit course. In an accelerated
format, students typically meet once per week for several weeks:
- 1 credit class = meets for 2 weeks
- 2 credit class = meets for 4 weeks
- 3 credit class = meets for 5 or 8 weeks
|
Are
there a variety of delivery options available?
|
The
Business Institute offers credit classes on-campus and online formats.
We also offer accelerated,
non-credit career and computer training through our Workforce
Development Program. |
| How
much do classes cost? |
Tuition is
$71 per credit for Arizona residents*. Most courses also have
a nominal course fee.
*Students from the following
counties are considered out-of-county and should check with
their local County Board of Supervisors about out-of-county
tuition and fee payments: Apache,
Greenlee, and Santa Cruz. |
| What
about textbooks? |
We
try to keep text costs down by selecting paperback editions
with very focused content, however we have no control over SCC
bookstore pricing. If
students plan ahead, significant savings are available when
purchasing books online, but they must allow for shipping time. Students
are responsible to have the correct text on-hand for the first
day of class. |
| I
haven't been to school in a while... how do I know if I'm
ready? If I'll fit in? |
Many
adults feel this way when starting or returning to college.
Rest assured, the majority of our students are working adults
just like you-juggling the demands of work and family with
the need to become more educated to advance in their career.
