Our History in Healthcare Education

For over 30 years, we have been a cornerstone in healthcare education.

In 1991, a visionary group of pharmacists founded the Arizona School of Pharmacy Technology. Their goal was to address the growing demand for skilled professionals in the local pharmacy community. In 1996, Eduvision, Inc., an educational services corporation with over two decades of experience in health education, acquired the school and expanded its offerings.

With new programs came a new identity: Arizona College of Allied Health. We soon moved from our original Scottsdale campus to a larger facility, accommodating our expanding medical assisting and health information specialist programs.

By 2012, we embraced a broader vision, changing our name to Arizona College. We relocated to a spacious 32,953-square-foot campus in Glendale and opened a second campus in Mesa. This expansion allowed us to offer more programs and serve a growing student population.

In 2013, we introduced our Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and created the Arizona College of Nursing (AZCN).

Staying true to our roots, we continue to prepare healthcare professionals for rewarding careers. Today, AZCN spans across Arizona, California, Colorado, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Florida, Viriginia, Wisconsin, and Utah.
