Welcome to the English Department at GCC.  We offer courses in composition, reading, and English literature. 

We also have an English as a Second Language program, a Developmental Literacy program to prepare you for college-level work,  and a Journalism/Mass Communications/New Media program.

Classes are scheduled to offer flexibility in completing your academic goals at GCC.   Courses are available on campus and online, during the day and at night, and in both traditional and accelerated formats. GCC also offers classes at our campus at  GCC North, at the NAU North Valley Campus, and in the far west valley at Valley Vista High School, 15550 N. Parkview Place, Surprise.

We hope our Web site will provide answers to many of your questions about our programs and look forward to meeting you in one of our classes.
