Social Events, Academics, Balance PC ' s Education The goal of Phoenix College is to provide a balance between the social and academic aspects of the school, for the purpose of creating a well-educated person. With the emphasis on academics, PC offers many two- year curriculums in the business, vocational trades, and nursing areas. It also has a great many curriculums which are transferable to a four-year school. Some of these are education, both primary and secondary, and various busi- ness, home economics, and engineering curriculums. Even with this emphasis on academic programs, the social aspect of college life is not forgotten. The ten Greek organizations, the six honoraries, clubs, and the many stu- dent government positions provide a great variety of activi- ties for the active individual. PC has expanded in both size and faculty in its 35- year existence. Once it was housed in the Phoenix Union High School with a nine-member faculty, but it now has three extension campuses with 180 faculty members serv- ing under the seven head administrators.
