Eastern Arizona College

Eastern Arizona College is a public two-year institution located in Thatcher, Arizona, with an enrollment of approximately 2,643 students. The college offers career and technical programs alongside transfer pathways, with fields that include construction management, dental hygiene, firefighting, and HVAC technology.

In-state tuition is $2,352 per year, while out-of-state students pay $9,552 per year. The average annual net price — the estimated total cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied — is $9,197. This figure can exceed published tuition because it reflects broader costs of attendance, not tuition alone. About 15.9% of students receive Pell Grants, a federal aid program for lower-income students. Notably, 0% of students take out federal student loans, meaning the college reports no federal loan borrowing among its student body.

Eastern Arizona College has a graduation rate of 41.9%. This figure reflects the share of students who complete a credential within a standard tracking window and is a useful reference point when comparing institutions, though individual outcomes will vary based on program, enrollment intensity, and other factors.

The median earnings figure for this school is $38,018 per year, measured approximately 10 years after enrollment. This number is calculated across all federally-aided students who enrolled at the college — including those who left without completing a credential — not graduates alone. As a result, it reflects a broad range of outcomes rather than the earnings of credential holders specifically.
