THE RESULTS ARE IN ...
In 1990-1991, Glendale Com­munity
College embarked on a
self-study process to renew our
accreditation with the North
Central Association of Colleges
and Schools (NCA), an in����dependent
accrediting agency
serving Arizona and eighteen
other states (most in the
IT\id-west).
Part of the self-st"udy process,
in which we evaluate our
achievements' and efforts,' in­volves
compiling a report that
describes our operation and
evaluates the effectiveness of
the operation relative to our
mission and pu.rposes. The
. report, which will be mailed to
NCA in December 1991, is a
precursor to an NCA team visit
to GCC in February 1992.
To aid GCC's self-study
committees in evaluating our
effectiveness as an educational
institution, several surveys were
conducted with GCC students
and community members. Pre­sented
here are some highlights
from the findings.
\W e S~~\~/.~~-I ley
Resi"-""""rllt rvey
cO)lducted by
O'Neil Associa es, Inc.
The purpose of this study was
to determine GCC's recognition
within the service area and to
ascertain community attitudes
toward the college and the
services it provides.
Of 300 residents interviewed in
February by telephone:
• 80% spontaneously mentioned
"Glendale" when asked to name
the community colleges in their
area.
• Of those expressing an
opinion, 93% felt that the
quality of education was good
or excellent.
• 87% of those expressing an
opinion felt that the college is
doing a good or excellent job of
meeting the community's needs.
• 41% have attended a public
event, activity, or workshop at
GCe. .
• 79% have either taken a
class at GCC themselves or had
a family member or friend who
has attended GCC (27%
themselves).
The purpose of this survey was
to measure student attitudes
toward various college pro­grams,
facilities, and services.
Of the 1900 students
surveyed in December:
\
• 84% rate the quality of
instruction as excellent (23%) or
good (61 %),
• 50% first heard of GCC
from a friend or relative; 27%
from a high school counselor
or pres~ntation.
• 59% identified preparation
for a 4-year college or university
as their primary reason for
attending GCe.
• 93% felt that GCC had helped
them in achieving their goals or
objectives, I
\
• 47% identified completing
lower division credits and
transferring to a university as
their primary educational
goal. 33% named obtaining a'n
associate's degree as their
primary goal.
• The most important fac­tors.
influencing students'
decision to attendGCC are:
closeness' to home or work
(35%), low tuition (20%),
course, certificate, or degree
availability (11 %), and small
class sizes (10%).
Non- e t·u r n i n 9
Stud t Fo) W-Up
conducted by
Dr. J. Reed, Student Info. Systems
This survey was conducted to
provide examples of outcome
and institutional effectiveness
information produced through
student follow-up.
Of the 397 former students
surv~yed in Ap~il:
• 79% rated their educational
I experience in the "very satis­fied"
or "satisfied" categories.
• The primary reason given for
not returning was the fact that
they had completed what was
needed.
• About '39% of the students
reported that their educational
goals were fully completed­without
graduating from a
program of study.
• About 18% reported that they
had not completed their edu­cational
goal, but intended to
pursue it at a later date. Of those
who plan to pursue their goal,
38% plan tio pursue' it at GCe.

rojections for the pop lation in
GCC's service area (6 mile adius)
by the Maricopa Association of
Governments (MAG) are for con·
tinue growtll. urthermore, as
ASU West becomes completely
staffed and 0 erational, it is
anticipated fhat GCC will exper­ience
an increase in its enrollment of
university-bound freshmen and
sopnomores. lncre sed demand for
occupational traming and retraining
is also expe ted to continue.
Based on these estimates, GCC s
student population \ has been
projected to reach a tot 1
headcount (day and evening
combined) of over 24,000
students and total FTSE exceed­ing
10,000 by the year 2000.
To support these projections,
GCC completed its masterplan­ning
process, which includes a
proposed build-out of the campus
(shown on left).
