The Arizona Education Consortium (AEC), established in 2001, is a non-profit association of school leaders from our Arizona Colleges and Universities. The members of the Consortium work cooperatively in an effort to bring higher education opportunities to the employees of local area businesses.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Arizona Education Consortium (AEC) is to serve as an educational resource to the community. The AEC is comprised of regionally accredited colleges and universities working in collaboration with corporations and community organizations to increase awareness of higher education opportunities in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

Allow us to Help Plan Your Education Fair
