Our Full-Service Campus in the heart of Nogales

Modern Technology in a Spacious Setting
The creation of the Santa Cruz County Provisional Community College District (SCCPCCD), referred to as the Santa Cruz Center, grew out of the need for higher education opportunities in our border county and the desire of residents and community leaders to have access to local post-secondary programs. Postsecondary education began in Santa Cruz County in 1970. We’ve come a long way since then with the Santa Cruz County Provisional Community College District moving to its current campus at the Santa Cruz Center in 2013.
Our campus is located on a spacious mixed use campus that includes partner offices, conference rooms, classrooms, computer, nursing and science labs, a student union and several lounge areas.
