About

Estrella Mountain Community College (EMCC) has been making high-quality, affordable education accessible in the West Valley since 1992. As a member of the Maricopa Community Colleges (MCCCD), one of the largest and oldest community college districts in the United States, EMCC has driven personal and professional growth to help students achieve their goals. With smaller class sizes; lower costs; in-person, online, and hybrid learning options; and support focused on the unique educational and personal needs of our students, EMCC has been able to provide the associate degrees and professional certificates needed to help students and the community thrive. Located in one of the fastest-growing regions of the county, EMCC enrolls approximately 15,000 students annually and is planned to be a large comprehensive learning college of more than 40,000 students. EMCC has been designated a Hispanic-Serving Institution through the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education.
