Because of its small size, and its commitment to values rooted in the O’odham Himdag, (cultural ways and practices), the College is known for the “student centered” experience it offers. Students in small classroom settings, similar to those in graduate seminars, discuss and engage with highly qualified faculty and staff on a daily basis. TOCC students are never a “number.”
