Paradise Valley Community College (PVCC) is a 2-year community college in Phoenix, Arizona.
Despite its name, it is located many miles from the actual town of Paradise Valley, Arizona, which is adjacent to Phoenix but independent from it.
The neighborhood in northeast Phoenix containing PVCC is also known as Paradise Valley, and is home to Paradise Valley Community Center, Paradise Valley High School, and Paradise Valley Golf Course.
PVCC was founded in 1985 and opened in 1987. It offers a variety of liberal arts, technical, and vocational programs. It awards the two-year associate's degree as well as non-credit courses. In its early years the campus was small and isolated, but with the city's growth, it has added numerous new facilities including a large complex of offices and classrooms on its east side.
It is part of the Maricopa County Community College District, one of the largest in the country.
The school mascot is the Puma. Current enrollment, as of 2005, is about 7,800.
