Junior College Applicants
If you plan to attend Cochise College or any other junior college, senior year is the time to start familiarizing yourself with its campus and programs. Remember, junior colleges do not require SAT/ACT testing results; however, you will still need to register, apply for scholarships, and take their placement tests. So get started!
Cochise College – Sierra Vista
901 N. Colombo Ave.
Sierra Vista, AZ 85635
Registration: 520-515-5415
Financial Aid: 520-515-5417
Campuses are also available in Douglas, Benson, and Wilcox.
University Applicants
If you would rather transition directly to a university such as The University of Arizona, Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, or any other four-year university, it’s time to begin planning. Schedule a visit and start practicing for the SAT/ACT. Most universities make campus visiting easy. Simply go to their website and follow the link for “future students.” Berean alumni currently attending the universities listed above would be happy to give tours as well. If you would like to connect with them, stop by the counseling office for details. Application deadlines are May 1.

Local Scholarship Opportunities
Our community offers several local scholarships—most with deadlines between January and April. Should you require a transcript with your application, we will need a two-day notice to prepare it. We also suggest you ask us to proofread the writing portion of your application. Coco Rubsamen, Maria Garcia, and Beverly Enriquez are all available to help.
College Entrance Exams
Standardized testing can strike fear into the most intelligent and confident of students. However, with preparation and knowledge of what to expect, students can conquer this hurdle. While most schools accept both types of testing, schools west of the Mississippi generally prefer the SAT and schools east of the Mississippi prefer the ACT. Learn more on these sites:
