Grand Canyon University Online

Founded in 1949, Grand Canyon University developed into a premier teacher education college, and soon formed other exceptional programs in the nursing, business, Christian studies, and arts and sciences.

As the city of Phoenix expanded around Grand Canyon University, the university grew along with the city to become one of the premier private universities in the nation. Grand Canyon University consistently maintains its tradition of excellence in all disciplines, and now offers that same exceptional tradition through its online education programs, which began in 2000.
