Classes begin Sat., Aug. 18, and brisk registration means some classes may already be full. More than 1,000 courses await you and there are more than 50 degrees and 50 certificates you can pursue. You can complete the first two years of any degree in any field at GCC and then transfer to a University. And while at GCC, you will enjoy lower tuition, smaller classes, quality faculty and close proximity to home. Call 623.845.3333 today to register or to request a fall schedule of classes.

GCC Offers Two, New, Convenient "Hybrid" Education Classes for Fall
Two "hybrid" education classes new at Glendale Community College this fall will combine the advantages of instructor-led classes with the convenience of online learning that can be done anywhere, anytime. Introduction to Education, ED 221 (section 2600) carries three credits but just meets on campus Tuesday mornings beginning Aug. 21. Introduction to the Exceptional Learner, EDU222 (section 2602 or 2603) also carries three credits but only meets at GCC on Monday and Wednesday mornings beginning Aug. 20. The rest of the class material is presented online, saving each student at least once trip to campus per week. There are no class prerequisites for either course, but EDU221 requires a minimum of 30 hours of field experience in elementary or secondary classrooms. Tuition and fees for either three-credit class total $210. Students must register by the start date of the class, either on campus in the Enrollment Center or by calling phone registration at 623.845.3333. Students must be able to learn concepts by reading about them and be proficient with a Web browser like Internet Explorer.
GCC Student Receives Coca Cola Scholarship
One of only 400 community college students selected from the entire United States, Ashley Moore, of Peoria, recently received a $1,000 scholarship from the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation to continue her education at Glendale Community College. Like the other recipients, she has demonstrated stellar academic success and has participated in significant, documented community service during the past 12 months. "The Coca-Cola Two-Year Colleges Scholarship Program gives support and encouragement to an under-served population of college students," said J. Mark Davis, President of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. "This program is an extension of our long-standing commitment to college education throughout the United States. These fine students, who often juggle school, work and family, continue to give back to their communities through volunteer service." The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation was created in 1986 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Coca-Cola and to establish a legacy for the education of tomorrow's leaders.
