What is Community Education?

Community Education courses are non-credit, lifelong learning opportunities open to everyone. Non-credit courses do not count toward a college degree or certificate. You do not need to be a CCC student to participate, and most courses do not require any prior experience or background. Offerings change each semester and include in-person workshops, online courses, and free public events.

Comet Talks & Walks

Comet Talks are free, public lectures open to everyone in the community. The topics range from local history and science to art, adventure, and current events, presented by CCC faculty, local experts, and visiting speakers. No registration is required for most events.

Comet Walks are the outdoor companion to Comet Talks, offering guided explorations of the natural and cultural landscapes of Northern Arizona.

All Comet Talks and Walks are free and open to the public. Recordings of recent talks are available on the CCC YouTube channel.
