Benson Center

Cochise College offered evening classes at Benson High School beginning in 1967. In 1998, after Benson residents lobbied the state capitol, House Bill 2505 provided $1 million over a two-year period to support construction of the 13,000-square-foot Benson Center. The Center opened in August 2000 and has two computer labs, a virtual library, four articulated classrooms that together can accommodate up to 200, a distance learning classroom, and a science lab/art room. The center serves students with traditional college courses, adult education, and personal interest classes. A full-time staff provides placement assessment, GED testing, advising, admissions, registration and financial aid.
