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.
Grand Canyon University offers the same high-quality education
online as the Phoenix campus setting. The online degree programs
are delivered using state-of-the-art Internet technologies based
on Blackboard technology. The online environment maximizes
flexibility and ease, allowing students to "attend" classes at a
pace and time that fits their busy schedule. Courses are also
offered continuously, year-round. This ease and flexibility can
allow a student to complete a degree program online in as little
as 18 months. Because GCU allows the transfer of credits from
many other institutions, it is possible to complete a GCU degree
program in less than 18 months.
Students attending Grand Canyon University do not give up any of
the other valuable learning interactions of more traditional
approaches. Entering GCU, students are assigned to a virtual
classroom instructor and online community of fellow students
allowing for individual and group participation on projects, and
peer discussion and review. This "cohort-based" learning model
allows a student to progress together with other students
allowing them to develop lasting relationships, and receive
support and encouragement.
Grand Canyon University's online campus has one of the lowest
tuition costs of any online school for both its bachelor's and
master's programs. GCU also offers many convenient payment
options including the ability to pay monthly. Financial aid and
scholarships are available to qualifying students.
