Founded in 1949, Grand Canyon University is a premier, private, accredited, Christian university located in Phoenix, Arizona. The University offers online degree programs through the Ken Blanchard College of Business, College of Education, College of Nursing and Health Sciences, and College of Liberal Arts and supports both traditional undergraduate students as well as the working professional.

You will spend your time performing various tasks such as writing, reading, responding to others in online discussion groups, working on projects, or researching. Students take two courses each sixteen-week semester -- divided into eight week segments. Courses are focused. Each class is structured so that you only take one at a time. We believe that concentration on one class at a time affords you time to take maximum advantage of each lesson. New classes start every two months.

Exams will be taken electronically through the Angel system. However, most courses use alternative methods of assessment, such as portfolios, research papers and projects.

All of Grand Canyon University's online courses are uniquely tailored to meet your needs. Our professors work hard to create an optimal online learning environment. That means you get feedback and have the opportunity to ask questions of your professor as well as to other students who are in your course of study.

Although classes do not meet at a specific time and place, students are expected to "attend" to their course by log-in four times per week (on average), and meet assignment deadlines and requirements for interaction with instructor and course peers. Students progress through the course as a class and participate in an online community. The program is not independent study.

Our programs may be the most student-friendly courses offered by any university. Not only will you learn…you'll enjoy doing it!
