This is the school you want to staySuper BrilliantBusiness - Management and Administration
This is the school you want to stay away from. The faculty have no clues what they are doing, the courses are conducted through an automated system. No feedback from professors. You need to be a hard core Christian to attend this school. This school discriminate based on religion and favor Christian students. Don't waste your time with this school. For a cheaper school try Aspen Univeristy.

Question
The College of liberal Arts is great.Quite BrightHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
The College of liberal Arts is great. They have intelligent Professors, but other than the faculty and a few staff the administration does not seem to care about the ground students. This school is a business and they want a profit and that is fine. Therefore do not come to GCU thinking that you will receive a top education, because of three reasons.(1) We have great professors but this school does not try to keep them. GCU is known for letting very good professors go. The College of Liberal Arts does not even have a Dean. COLA has not had one for almost a year. So if you want to get a degree with professors that can mentor you and help you complete your degree does not look at gcu. (2) This school stresses online classes. The ground students are so disconnected that most of the time we do not have enough students for our respected majors resulting in classes being dropped. Moreover, GCU has had major problems with programs changing several times over. I personally have had to change my major three times because they dropped the first two. (3) The online makes so much money that the Ground students are ignored. We do not matter therefore we feel as if we do not have a voice. I do not recomend GCU.

Question
I love it at GCU! I will beQuite BrightAccounting
I love it at GCU! I will be graduating soon, and my experience has been positive. I came from a small Christian school in the south, and I enjoyed GCU more than the other establishment. 100% of my GCU work was completed online. Great school!!! (Highly recommended) It must be noted that you will get out of your education based on what you put into it. For the student who said that they just breezed by, I would say that you would have found value in the school if you had attempted to earn an education.
