The Dual Enrollment Program is an agreement between participating high school districts, Glendale Community College and the Maricopa Community College District "MCCCD", pursuant to AZ Revised Statute 15-1821.01 (.pdf).

They follow Higher Learning Commission (HLC) Assumed Practices to ensure that the institution is maintaining qualified faculty members. Find more information on our Faculty Credentials.
