At Glendale Community College, you will experience academic rigor that challenges you to learn and think deeply about your chosen area of study and the world around you.  Outside of the classroom, you will have the support you need to succeed academically and to engage with your fellow students and the community in the West Valley. I encourage you to use the many services we offer, such as tutoring, advising, and career services. Get involved in the vibrant life of the college by joining student organizations, honor societies, and our championship athletics teams. Most importantly, get to know our faculty who are experts in their fields and our staff who are passionate about helping you navigate your college journey and reach your goals.
