New Behavioral Health Degree and Certificates Offered at GCC
Responding to the burgeoning field of Behavioral Health Science, GCC is offering three new BHS programs this fall. Each presents a rewarding career path for students or continuing education credits for those already working in behavioral health. With 19 credit hours of classes, students can receive a certificate in Basic Behavioral Health. A certificate in Advanced Behavioral Health is achieved with 47 credits, and an AAS degree in Advanced Behavioral Health is earned with 71-74 credits. Courses offered in these programs include Introduction to Ethical Counseling Issues, Introduction to Human Relations, Communications Skills in Counseling, Counseling in Multicultural Settings, and Case Report Writing. All courses will be taught by individuals holding a Master's Degree or higher in a human services field. For additional information about the programs, contact Bruce Thomas at

Education Leads to Jobs, Higher Pay; Classes Start at GCC July 3 and Aug. 19
Glendale Community College is a great place to begin an educational path that will lead to good-paying jobs and prepare students for university transfer. With more than 2,000 classes and more than 100 certificate and degree programs offered, students will find what they need to get started. Recent surveys find the employment outlook for college graduates is good, especially for those in the financial, engineering and teaching fields. Seventy percent of hiring managers say they plan to recruit recent college graduates in 2006, and one in four expect to hire more new grads than last year, according to CareerBuilder.com's annual survey on college hiring. Studies show that students who attend college earn more throughout their lifetime than those who do not. Summer Session II begins Monday, July 3. Fall semester begins Aug. 19. To receive a GCC summer or fall schedule by mail, call 623.845.3333. Registration is underway and students are encouraged to register now as classes fill rapidly. GCC is located at 6000 W. Olive Ave. in Glendale.
Many Classes Now Available at GCC North
More than 165 sections of 94 courses are now available at GCC North, a satellite campus of Glendale Community College. Conveniently located at 5727 W. Happy Valley Rd., the GCC North campus has grown to serve the needs of the Northwest Valley. Its offerings will further increase over the next few years with significant new construction, made possible by community passage of the 2004 Maricopa Community Colleges Bond election. To receive GCC North schedules, call 623.845. 3333 or 623.845.4000. Registration is now underway.
