Glendale Community College (GCC) was recently notified that they it has received accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM). GCC is the only community college admitted this year as well as being the first and only accredited NASM community college in the state of Arizona. Only the three state universities in Arizona are also accredited by NASM.
To earn this recognition, the music program at GCC wrote a comprehensive self-study that addressed numerous standards established by NASM. This was followed by a campus visit by NASM in 2022 to verify the information in the self-study, listen to performances, observe classroom instruction, interview faculty, staff, students and administration, as well as verify academic transcripts of recent graduates. New members of NASM must repeat this process five years after initial accreditation, then again in five years, and every ten years after that.
Dr. Tiffany Hernandez, President of Glendale Community College, said that “our accreditation by the National Association of Schools of Music reflects GCC’s commitment to our students and our community to prepare musicians at the collegiate level. As the only NASM-accredited community college in the state of Arizona, GCC is proud to be a significant component of the performing arts and culture community in the West Valley and beyond.”
Four Keystone Cougar trailers have been seen grouped in a Yavapai Community College Verde Valley Campus car parking lot. These are likely the same four trailers that were scheduled to be ready by fall 2023, and it appears they have finally arrived—at least to a parking lot. Once fully equipped and relocated to the partially still-under-construction trailer park, these trailers are expected to be available for short-term rental to faculty/staff and students.
Yavapai Community College has not disclosed the purchase price of the four travel trailers to the public.
